Tasting and Seeing
To get the most out of this devotion, set aside time to read the Scripture referenced throughout.
When Jesus preached the Sermon on the Mount, He was by the Sea of Galilee—a region known for fishing. The people around Him would have been familiar with the practice of curing with salt to preserve and enhance flavor, and they perhaps even imagined the rich taste as He said to them, “You are the salt of the earth” (Matt. 5:13).
While we may not have the same vivid picture and flavor in mind, followers of Christ today are similarly called to preserve what is good in the world—especially the history, richness, and legacy of our faith. We can do this by studying God’s Word, learning about the development and work of the church, praying regularly, and seeking to represent Christ everywhere we go and in whatever we do. This is how we help others “taste and see that the Lord is good” (Psalm 34:8).
Think About It
- Think about your own habits. How can you continue the work of preserving what is good in the world?
- What are some ways you can represent Christ in your household, neighborhood, or community?
Bible in One Year: John 20-21
