Other people will recognize our belief in Jesus Christ as we reflect His light and spread His salt by our living. This is a matter both of influence (salt) and pointing to truth (light). It also is a matter of keeping the “righteous requirement of the law” (see yesterday’s devotion). What is that “righteous requirement”? It is not a matter of being picky in choosing what you can do or cannot do. This is not the jot or tittle (v.18) Jesus referred to. It is embracing what we ought to do more than what we ought not to do.
