Taste and Sight

We all have five senses. Right? Seeing, smelling, tasting, touching, and hearing.

We seem to take all of these senses for granted sometimes, but if we lose even one of those senses our lives are completely changed.

But today I am going to explain how not having two of these senses in your spiritual life can completely change your relationship with Christ.

The two senses are seeing and tasting and I am basing my sermon on one of Jesus' sermons, the sermon on the mount.

Although there are a lot of good teachings in the sermon on the mount I am only going to touch on one. The teaching on salt and light.

So what do seeing and tasting have to do with salt and light? Well, everything, for if you can't see then everything is dark and if you can't taste then everything is flavorless. Right?

Well if you lose your senses of taste and sight in your spiritual life then how will you be able to see and taste Gods see and taste all the good things God is trying to give you?

But as anyone who's read Matthew 9:27-34 knows, Jesus can restore our sight. He can also, I believe, restore our spiritual sight.

And, although there is no evidence of it in the bible, I know that God can restore our sense of taste both physically and spiritually.

So now I have a question for you. Do you want to live your whole life seeing Jesus, the Light of The World. Or do you want to walk around in the darkness like a blind man? And do you want to taste Christs goodness? Or do you want to eat the flavorless food of the world?

The choice is up to you, but I challenge you to open your eyes and mouths to Gods goodness.
