The above verse, Mk 9:49 says, "For everyone shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt." No pastor in South Africa, or in the USA (or in brief visits to UK, Canada, the Caribbean) explained this verse. What does it mean? I really will fumble .... so Christians out there may help me, please. II As a pastor myself, I share with audiences that a verse that is difficult to exegete and interpret, might be placed in its larger contexts. These are at least four (4): the pericope or scene; the chapter overall, the book (here, Mark), and the BIBLE as a whole with its core message (Creation - Fall- Restoration). The other verse that helps elucidate these difficult words we hear in Mk 9:49, is the preceding one that says: "If thy eye offend thee, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the Kingdom of heaven with one eye, than having two eyes, to be cast into hell fire ...." This context suggests Jesus is quick to save us, but our lives must obey His lofty standards. In other words, we cannot say with our mouths, I have sinned and need to be washed clean, & go on with the same habits that the church has preached against for 2000 years. In the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew's Gospel), Jesus tells the crowds and His disciples to be both "Salt and Light in the world." That verse & its interpretation may help us meditate on Mark 9:49.
