There are times in life when it feels as though all we can do is “put our heads down” and move forward. It is important, however, that we occasionally stop and look around in order to regain a wider perspective. As we do, Jesus makes sure we're standing in the right spots in order to see life the way he wants us to see it. This week we hear the next section of Jesus’ so-called “Sermon on the Mount.” In this section, Jesus gets specific about what it means for his followers to be “salt” and “light.” Far more than mere outward obedience, Jesus applies his law to the deepest thoughts of our minds and desires of our heart. He shows us how to live lives that please God and benefit our neighbor.
