Bonhoeffer: Day 16

  • All those who follow Jesus’ call to discipleship are made by that call to be the salt of the earth in their whole existence.
  • “You are the salt of the earth; but it salt has lost its taste, how can its saltiness be restored?  It is no longer good for anything, but is thrown out and trampled under foot.” Matthew 5:13
  • If Christ’s call to discipleship changes our whole existence, in what ways should the disciple’s life be different from those who have not heard or accepted the call?
  • “Give me understanding, that I may keep your law and observe it with my whole heart.  Lead me in the path of your commandments, for I delight in it.  Turn my heart to your decrees, and not to selfish gain.  Turn my eyes from looking at vanities; give me life in your ways.” Psalm 119:34-37
  • How salty are you? How salty am I?
