Matthew 5:17-20 New Living Translation (NLT)
17 “Don’t misunderstand why I have come. I did not come to abolish the law of Moses or the writings of the prophets. No, I came to accomplish their purpose. 18 I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not even the smallest detail of God’s law will disappear until its purpose is achieved. 19 So if you ignore the least commandment and teach others to do the same, you will be called the least in the Kingdom of Heaven. But anyone who obeys God’s laws and teaches them will be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven.
20 “But I warn you—unless your righteousness is better than the righteousness of the teachers of religious law and the Pharisees, you will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven!

Matthew 5:13-16 (NLT)
13 “You are the salt of the earth. But what good is salt if it has lost its flavor? Can you make it salty again? It will be thrown out and trampled underfoot as worthless.
14 “You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden.15 No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.

Location: Clearwater Elementary School
Jesus wants to pack the world with salt, which happens to be his followers, like you and me, for the sole purpose of preserving our world from unworldly deterioration.
That leads us to point number 1
Point number 1 in your notes:
The Christian life is designed to prevent decay in the lives of those around us.

As if He was a courtroom defense attorney, defending himself, and he gave His witness list to the prosecutors, which would’ve been the Pharisees and the religious elite of his day, telling them, “these are the witnesses I planned a call to the stand to testify about me.”
And it’s so important that He had witnesses because in their culture you needed witnesses to prove anything. Look at the book of Deuteronomy chapter 17. God the Father gave this instruction to Moses as a rule for the Israelites:
Deuteronomy 17:6 Never put a person to death on the testimony of only one witness. There must always be two or three witnesses.
Deuteronomy 19:15 (NLT)
15 “You must not convict anyone of a crime on the testimony of only one witness. The facts of the case must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.
I’d ask you to open your bibles to John chapter 5. We’re going to be reading verses 31-47 this morning in a message that I’ve titled “The Witness List”
Point number 1 in your notes:
The messiahship of Jesus was observed by people.
Explanation:
The Pharisees know whom John the Baptist was. The had sent a congregations of scribes and leaders from the Temple in Jerusalem to the river where John was baptizing to ask John if he was the Messiah. John told them that he was not the Messiah, but that he was the one that Isaiah had prophesied about when the prophet wrote,
“I am a voice shouting in the wilderness,
‘Clear the way for the Lord’s coming!’”

On the surface it’s easy to read these verses and see physical healing, but I think it be fair to say that God doesn’t give us any scripture to simply satisfy our needs of physical healing, as we’ve discovered over the last few weeks, God is more concerned about the healing of our soul than the healing of our body.
Turn with me if you will to John chapter 5. We’re going to be reading verses 1-15 this morning, in a message that I’ve titled “The Healing of our Hearts.”
