Wk 2: Jesus Fulfills the Law (Matthew 5:13-20)

Jesus continues His Sermon on the Mount teaching on how believers act in their world. The commands Jesus gives are not simply a list of to-dos but demonstrations of His work in our lives. When we encounter Jesus, He makes us salt and light to everyone watching. He drives home the point that we cannot make ourselves do these things. We are incapable of doing enough good things to be salt and light. This only comes from His work on the cross for us. We are righteous, and we look righteous on the outside, when His grace grips us, not from our effort.
