    About this Episode

    Bruce and Justin talk through what Jesus meant when he called us salt and light. It's important to understand that this, and all the rest of the sermon, was intended to be built on the characteristics that Jesus blesses at the beginning of the sermon (the beatitudes).

    Matthew 5:13-16
    13 “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt should lose its taste, how can it be made salty? It’s no longer good for anything but to be thrown out and trampled on by men.

    14 “You are the light of the world. A city situated on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 No one lights a lamp and puts it under a basket, but rather on a lampstand, and it gives light for all who are in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before men, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.

    #95 - Christian Nationalism Pt. 3 | Sermon on the Mount Wrap Up Repost | S6E5

    Originally, Bruce and Justin recorded a whole hour's worth of discussion to wrap up this three-part series. Somehow, likely user oversight, the file disappeared or was never recorded. 

    But, you're in luck, because this final part was intended to describe what living out the kingdom of heaven on earth should look like and we've done two exhaustive series (one on the Sermon on the Mount and the other on the book of James) that details this reality.

    So, this episode will just be a reposting of our SOTM wrap-up episode from season 3.
