In Matthew 5:13-16 Jesus shifts from the character of the Christian in the Beatitudes and toward the influence of the Christian in the world. We will influence the world in much the same way salt (flavor, preservative) and light (penetrates darkness, reveals hidden realities) function in the world.

Sweet Jesus, I Hate Bill O'Reilly
Jesus begins to explain how our righteousness must exceed that of the Scribes & Pharisees. Sinful acts start with sin-filled hearts. Murder starts with anger & hatred. We sin long before, and if we don't, kill anyone.
