Main Points Overview of Matthew 5:- 3-12: The characteristics of His true followers and their promised rewards
- 13-16: Salt and light: The movement’s strategy
- 17-20: Relationship of this new teaching to the Law of Moses
- Key issue = motives - Who am I seeking to please?
- Key issue = materialism - Whose agenda am I seeking to accomplish?
- Key issue = misapplication - Where am I mis-applying Jesus' teaching?
- Key issue = misperception
- Poor in spirit?
