Salt and Sacrifice

You are to season each of your grain offerings with salt; you must not omit from your grain offering the salt of the covenant with your God. You are to present salt with each of your offerings.
(Leviticus 2:13 HCSB ©®)

“On the second day you are to present an unblemished male goat as a sin offering. They will purify the altar just as they did with the bull. When you have finished the purification, you are to present a young, unblemished bull and an unblemished ram from the flock. You must present them before the Lord; the priests will throw salt on them and sacrifice them as a burnt offering to the Lord.”
(Ezekiel 43:22-24 HCSB ©®)

“For everyone will be salted with fire [and every sacrifice will be salted with salt]. Salt is good, but if the salt should lose its flavor, how can you make it salty? Have salt among yourselves and be at peace with one another.”
(Mark 9:49-50 HCSB ©®)

“Now, salt is good, but if salt should lose its taste, how will it be made salty? It isn’t fit for the soil or for the manure pile; they throw it out. Anyone who has ears to hear should listen!”
(Luke 14:34-35 HCSB ©®)

Walk in wisdom toward outsiders, making the most of the time. Your speech should always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you should answer each person.
(Colossians 4:5-6 HCSB ©®)

Salt has always been associated with sacrifices. Every opportunity we receive to serve our King has the potential of being costly and of being valuable. Be prepared to make the sacrifice, seasoned with salt. Be awesome on every occasion.
