马太福音5:13-16 你是光和盐
马太福音5:13 「你们是世上的盐。盐若失了味，怎能叫它再咸呢？以后无用，不过丢在外面，被人践踏了。14 你们是世上的光。城造在山上是不能隐藏的。15 人点灯，不放在斗底下，是放在灯台上，就照亮一家的人。16 你们的光也当这样照在人前，叫他们看见你们的好行为，便将荣耀归给你们在天上的父。」
不要错过耶稣关于盐和光这个比喻中的关键原则。天国的公民对社会产生影响，因为他们与这个世界的国不同（不是怪胎也不是奇特，而是与众不同）。当盐和光试图适应这个世界，或向这个世界妥协时，它们就会失去其独特性，也失去影响这个必将逝去的，也是衰败和黑暗的世界的潜力。我们是腐烂世界中的盐。我们是黑暗世界里的光。
你过得怎么样？你真的像基督徒一样生活吗？你是否像基督徒一样使用自己的钱？你说话像基督徒吗？你是否像基督徒一样管理家庭？你是否像基督徒一样度过闲暇时光？你在场的时候周围的语言是否会改变？你工作场所的态度会因为你无怨无悔地工作，准时出现，对每个人友善对待，拒绝流言蜚语而得到改善吗？
耶稣说：“你是盐和光。”他不是说你应该是，而是你是。圣灵在你里面工作，改变了你，所以有时你似乎根本无法适应这个世界。曾经有一个会友告诉我，她觉得食堂的工作人员不希望她与他们坐在一起，因为当她坐在他们的餐桌旁时，他们就停止说话。你是盐，你是光。不要为此感到羞耻！
祷告：主耶稣，请帮助我记住我可以在世界中不一样，我的生命将使我天上的父得荣耀。我祈祷我能以这样一种方式做到这一点，使人们不想回避我，但是我可以给出我盼望的理由。不要让我隐藏通过你在我身上发光。阿们
Matthew
Listen: Matthew 5:13-16: 13 “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. 14 “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden.15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
Don’t miss a the key principle in Jesus’ metaphors of salt and light. Citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven impact society because they are different (not weird or bizarre but distinct) from the Kingdom of this World. When salt and light try to accommodate to and/or be conformed by the Kingdom of this World, they lose their distinctiveness and their potential to impact the decay and the darkness of the this world which is passing away. We are salt in a rotting world. We are light in a dark world.
How are you doing? Are you really living like a Christian? Are you using your money like a Christian? Are you talking like a Christian? Are you conducting your family like a Christian? Are you using your leisure time like a Christian? Does the language change when you are around? Does the attitude of the workplace improve because you work without complaining, you show up on time, you treat everyone with kindness, you refuse to enter into gossip?
Jesus says, “You ARE salt and light.” He doesn’t say that you should be, but that you are. The Spirit working in you has changed you so that sometimes you don’t seem to fit in this world at all. I once had a member tell me that she didn’t think the workers in the lunchroom wanted her to sit with them, because when she sat down at their table, they just stopped talking. You are salt and you are light. Don’t be ashamed of it!
Prayer: Lord Jesus, help me to remember that I can make a difference in my world, and that my life will give glory to my Father in heaven. I pray that I could do this in such a way that people will not want to avoid me, but so that I can give reason for the hope that I have in you. Keep me from hiding that light that shines in me through you. Amen.
马太福音5:17-20 律法和那真正的义
马太福音5:17 「莫想我来要废掉律法和先知。我来不是要废掉，乃是要成全。18 我实在告诉你们，就是到天地都废去了，律法的一点一画也不能废去，都要成全。19 所以，无论何人废掉这诫命中最小的一条，又教训人这样做，他在天国要称为最小的。但无论何人遵行这诫命，又教训人遵行，他在天国要称为大的。20 我告诉你们，你们的义若不胜于文士和法利赛人的义，断不能进天国。」
法利赛人对耶稣的批评，与加拉太书中一些律法主义者对保罗的批评一样。也就是说，如果救恩是凭恩典和自由获得的，那是不是在引导人们以为他们根本不必遵守诫命呢？耶稣在这里教导我们，正好相反！实际上，整个登山宝训几乎所有的讲道都可以告诉你律法真正意味着什么，特别你是认真地，发自内心地对待律法，而不仅仅是服从律法字面的意思。法利赛人擅长外表上去遵行律法，但在里面，他们的心与其他人一样充满罪恶。因此，当耶稣在登山宝训中再提《十诫》时，他向我们展示将十诫牢记在心里是意味着什么。
那么，我们的义如何能超越法利赛人和律法师的义呢？他们在遵守诫命方面非常谨慎。我怀疑我是否会赶得上他们。但是，我却有一个他们没有的义。我信耶稣，我被他的义所遮盖，这是唯一在上帝面前算数的真正的义。更重要的是，我的义是让我去遵守律法的动力，不是因为我必须这样做，而是因为我想这样做。当我对律法的顺从发自内心时，我的义就会超过法利赛人和律法师的义。
祷告：主耶稣，请指教我，让我明白，我永远想要或者需要的唯一的义就是我所相信的那个义。我自己的义在上帝面前毫无价值！同时，给我一颗心，让我看到每条诫命都是一个机会来表达我对你的爱，和对邻居的爱，愿通过我的生活，你可以得荣耀。阿们
Matthew
Listen: Matthew 5:17-20: “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18 For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. 19 Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.20 For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.
The Pharisees had the same criticisms of Jesus’ ministry that Paul dealt with in his letters to the Galatians and others. Namely, if salvation is by grace alone and free, aren’t you inviting people to think they don’t have to keep the commandments at all? Jesus teaches us here that just the opposite is true! In fact, almost the whole sermon on the mount shows you what the law really means if you are taking it seriously and from the heart, rather than just obeying the letter of the law. The Pharisees were good at keeping the law on the outside, but on the inside, their hearts were just as full of sin as anyone else. So as Jesus does a review of the Ten Commandments in the Sermon on the Mount, he will show us what it means to keep the Ten Commandments from the heart.
So how does our righteousness surpass that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law? They were very careful about keeping the commandments. I doubt if I would measure up to them. Except, I have a righteousness that they didn’t have. I believe in Jesus and I am covered with his righteousness, which is the only righteousness that counts before God. More, I am motivated by that righteousness to obey the law, not because I have to, but because I want to. And when my obedience comes from the heart, my righteousness will surpass that of the Pharisees and teachers of the law.
Prayer: Lord Jesus, teach me to see that the only righteousness that I will ever want or need is the righteousness that is by faith in you. My righteousness counts for nothing before God! At the same time, give me a heart that sees in every commandment an opportunity to show my love for you and my love for my neighbor, so that by my live, you will be glorified. Amen.
