“Now when Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him, and he began to teach them.” —Matthew 5:1-2
In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus addresses prayer, marriage, and the narrow gate. He describes the eternal impact of loving our enemies and giving to the needy. Jesus uses his words to paint a picture and set a standard for what living as we’re called to be ought to look like. We see a glimmer of the Kingdom we were created for.
And in that glimmer, we not only see just how far from the mark we are, but also the blameless Savior who fulfills every law on our behalf because we can’t on our own.
