The Sermon on the Mount (recorded in Matthew 5-7) is a collection of Jesus’ best-known teachings. It is the foundational instruction for those who seek to enter the Kingdom of God. These passages describe the necessary qualities of the heart, outline how Christians should live, and discuss our physical and spiritual needs. Jesus’ words address the real issues of the human condition at the root. He’s interested in the heart that produces the external actions and the internal changes needed to enter the Kingdom of God. A life dedicated to following Jesus is countercultural. It challenges everything that the world promotes. It is a path of self-denial and obedience–and it may be difficult–but the Way of the Kingdom is the only way that leads to true life. Build your life on the firm foundation of God’s word and recognize today that all else is sinking sand.
