Commentaries and Concordances

GSB:

14:34 {7} Salt [is] good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned?
(7) The disciples of Christ must be wise, both for themselves and for others: otherwise they become the most foolish of all.

PNT:

14:34,35 Salt [is] good. See notes on Mt 5:13 Mr 9:50. The Christian is the salt of the earth; the
savour is the spirit of self-sacrifice; if it is wanting, his life is worthless.

WES:

14:34 Salt - Every Christian, but more eminently every minister. Mt 5:13; Mr 9:50.

MHC:

14:25-35 Though the disciples of Christ are not all crucified, yet they all bear their cross, and must bear it in the way of duty. Jesus bids them count upon it, and then consider of it. Our Saviour explains this by two similitudes; the former showing that we must consider the expenses of our religion; the latter, that we must consider the perils of it. Sit down and count the cost; consider it will cost the mortifying of sin, even the most beloved lusts. The proudest and most daring sinner cannot stand against God, for who knows the power of his anger? It is our interest to seek peace with him, and we need not send to ask conditions of peace, they are offered to us, and are highly to our advantage. In some way a disciple of Christ will be put to the trial. May we seek to be disciples indeed, and be careful not to grow slack in our profession, or afraid of the cross; that we may be the good salt of the earth, to season those around us with the savour of Christ.
