In his commentary on the Sermon on the Mount, John Stott reminds his readers that if Matthew 5:3-12 (the Beatitudes) is about a Christian’s character, then Matthew 5:13-16 is about a Christian’s influence in this world. I have always loved the words of Matthew 5:13-16, which describe Christian influence as salt and light. These words of Jesus point us toward the right balance of inward piety and outward action.
Kingdom greatness begins where you are. Read to the end...
The Light of the world lighting up the world - believe it or not!
The King has come! Lead on, O King eternal!
The character of the Kingdom goes to the heart.
