The sermon on the mount is very helpful in the life of a Disciple. Jesus teaches his followers what it looks like to live as citizens of the Kingdom of God and not of this world. For our passage this week, Jesus focuses on the idea that as his followers we are the salt and the light of the world. When others take notice of our lives they should see something different than the world around them. They should see Jesus in us.
