Jesus begins the Sermon on the Mount with the Beatitudes, calls His disciples salt and light, explains His relationship to the law, and repeatedly moves from external righteousness to the heart. He addresses anger, lust, divorce, oaths, retaliation, and love for enemies, calling His hearers to a righteousness that reflects the Father’s character rather than the hypocrisy of outward religion.
