What does it mean when salt is lost in saver?

Why is it trodden under the foot of men?

Could you answer that one?

You know, I would think it's just like, well, if it's not good for saving or eating, what

then is it good for?

And so things are discardable.

You discard it and you can kind of walk over it.

The couple things that's good for it doesn't actually do.

It's lost its utility.

This is from Gerald Lund. He says, so valuable was the commodity of salt that Roman soldiers

were often paid with bags of salt.

From this practice came the word salary, from the Latin salarium or salt money.

Have you heard somebody say he's not worth his salt for that phrase too?

Maybe that comes from that.

True.

So you're very valuable.

People fighting over salt or rights to salt.

There's always natural resources people fighting over them.

Well, at times there were battles over who would control salt resources.

Very useful, very valuable.

So that's what the Savior is calling His disciples to be.

Useful, valuable.
