Adding some flavor to life …

People are so rushed today not many people take time to cook a whole meal. I mean really cook, as in prepare food and actually use a stove.

Many of us shop for food where you simply add hot water, stir, and viola! You have a meal in a cup. Or plastic container (we don’t do dishes much, either).

One problem of these just-add-water instant meals is they lack taste. But never fear! Many of the makers of these meals are now including a “flavor pack.” After pouring in the boiling hot water, just tear open the flavor pack, pour in the ingredients, stir vigorously, and now you have a meal that has some flavors!

As Christians, you and I are like that flavor pack included in that bland food product. Jesus describes us in Matthew 5:13a this way:

“You are the salt of the earth …”

Life without Christ is bland. It’s actually lacking life. Jesus has us here as His packets of flavoring.

So here’s the question: if an unbeliever (or anyone, for that matter) “opens you up” and adds you to his or her existence, do you add the flavor of life?
