The Christian has to let it be known. Through the ages, some have been tempted to leave this evil world and be alone with the Lord. But a Christian cannot and does not fly away. The Christian lives in his world, is a part of it, and makes his presence and influence felt in every possible way. But, Rather, Is Made Up Of Many Individual Grains.
Some grains of salt are large, some small, and they come in all different shapes.
The salt of the earth, as Jesus was thinking of it, is not one great mass. Christianity is made up of many individuals of all shapes and sizes, and like the salt of the earth, we do not lose our individuality. One may preach, one may sing, one may give large gifts. There is something in us, in all of us, which isn't just heredity, but something unique, something we have been from eternity. Many times we think of the Christian life as something so gentle and meek and mild as to be almost meaningless.
