‘Salt and Light – The Influence of Christians (Mat. 5:13-16)
Sermon by Pastor Samuel Niblack
We are studying Jesus’ most famous sermon. Matthew organizes his Gospel around 5 great speeches that Jesus gave, 5 books of Moses. Matthew wants to convince his fellow Jews that Jesus gives full meaning and accomplishes everything that Moses announced concerning the Messiah.
This sermon has been called the King’s Manifesto. The charter of the citizen of his kingdom. In these 3 chapters, we find Jesus’ program, the values of Jesus. But “Manifesto of the King” also because it is when his disciples put his words into practice that Jesus manifests himself today.
