He never snapped back at people or became irritable with them, even when those around Him tried to provoke a reaction.
The Lord Jesus provided the perfect example of this in Luke 4 when “ all were speaking well of Him, and wondering at the gracious words which were falling from His lips”. Just as salt is used to make food taste better, we can improve our speech by “seasoning” it with grace.
“Let your speech always be with grace, as though seasoned with salt”. However, did you know that the Bible exhorts us to have a different kind of salty speech? Our words can sting like salt rubbed in an open wound. Many of us can reflect on times when we have been “salty” with others. “Salty” has become a slang term used for someone who bites back when they feel that they have been wronged.
