So far my sermon outline for this passage is:
Following Jesus means:
i. Loving Jesus before all others (vv25-26)
ii. Carrying our cross (vv 27)
iii. Careful Consideration (vv28-33)
iv. Something about salt (!) (vv 34-35)
Any ideas about point 4? I remember doing a course on preaching where we were taught that the verse that you don’t understand how it fits into the passage is often the key to the whole passage. That’s why I am quite keen to get this one right…

Sadly, I don't think v34-35 hold the key to the passage. I suspect Luke has added the sayings about salt at the point he feels is most appropriate.
