Christmas Cookies
Pastor David Johnson
One of our traditions at Christmas time is making M&M cookies. I remember my first M&M cookie at Granny's at Christmas time. I thought, "What a genius idea! A cookie, AND M&Ms together in one glorious package!"
Since then, I have always shared that joy with my grandchildren. While baking cookies, one of my grandchildren asked me why I put salt in the batter. Good question! It doesn't seem they would go together, but they do because salt enhances other flavors by wakening the full body of whatever it touches.
Jesus said that we are the salt of the earth. When we are included into the batter of this earth, we - through Christ - awaken and enhance flavors that were once dormant. As salt, we bring out the sweetness of Christ in our environments! This Christmas season let's remember to include the salt. Let's introduce our neighbors to the best taste of Christmas -- Jesus Christ, our lord and savior!
