Sermon On The Mount – What He Said
The Sermon on the Mount (Matthew chapters 5-7) is the most important sermon of all time. This isn’t true just because Jesus gave it; it’s because this sermon lays the foundation for what a life fully submitted to him looks like.
For those of you joining us at Clarity for this 10-week study, you may want to “geek out” on this passage more than we can in a 30-minute session once a week. Here are some resources from theologians and scholars who have shared their thoughts.
As with any man-made attempts to make commentary on scripture, always be a student and don’t automatically take what all these people have to say for truth just because they wrote a book. Do your homework. Study your Bible. Pray. Get in community with other people who follow Christ, love the Scriptures, and are committed to understanding them, if for all it’s worth.
