Saint Athanasius Lutheran Church

Last week we heard the Beatitudes, the beginning of Jesus' teaching called the Sermon on the Mount. The Beatitudes come at the beginning of Jesus' teaching because they set the stage for His life and the rest of what He will say. And so it is with that foundation that we move onto the teaching of Jesus that we heard today. It's important that we keep this all together, that we build on this foundation laid last week, as we hear Jesus say that you are the salt of the earth... you are the light of the world.
