Salt and Light 2

Col. 4:5-6  "Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity.  Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone."
This goes right with the last post on salt and light. It is interesting that in this passage, the salt is being used as a flavoring, only this time it is with our words. If used as a preservative, it is to preserve the relationship between you and those who don't know the Lord. It is interesting to think about,  esp. when I have thought about salt and light as being used to declare the truth. The truth is still the truth whether you preserve it or not. The best way to preserve it is to be like Jesus.
