Being The Light

Matthew 5:1-20

(Note: I will be blogging about this in a bit, want to come back)

Jesus Gives the Beatitudes
1-10 Jesus went to a mountainside and explained to the disciples that the poor in spirit, the ones who mourn, the meek, the hungry for righteousness, the merciful, the pure, the peacemakers, and the persecuted will be blessed.
11-12 Jesus explained that we will receive reward in heaven for being persecuted because of Jesus.

Jesus Teaches about Salt and Light
13-16 Jesus explains how if we are like salt and we lose saltiness, we will become useless. However, if we are the light of the world, people will see it. We need to spread the news like the light so others can see it.

Jesus Teaches about the Law
17-20 Jesus explains how we need to obey the laws. Jesus did not come to abolish the Law, but to fulfill them. We must do the same in order to be great in heaven. We will not enter the kingdom of heaven unless we are righteous.
