Christ said His disciples would be “the salt of the earth”. Salt is a preservative and it enhances flavor. It is an essential ingredient of life. Nicholas Kristof writes in the New York Times that salt in the diet makes people smarter. Mothers who do not have enough salt in their diet bear children whose IQ is lower than others or have brain damage. Amazing little fact. Salt makes people smarter. It raises the intelligence quotient. Following Christ’s teachings make you a smarter person. It can enhance your life and preserve you. One day Christ’s intervention in world afairs will spare human life. Amazing thing…salt.
