Matthew 5 | This chapter of Matthew begins the Sermon on the Mount -- a collection of teachings about the Kingdom of God that Jesus presents as He is traveling around. This is a view of the Kingdom of God that is really the opposite of how the Jews of the day taught about the Kingdom. Seriously, it is revolutionary to their thinking! And, it should be for us today as well. This might sound outrageous to you and it might push you around a little. It should!
