In his finale to a perspective-shattering sermon on blessing, righteousness, sin, wealth, and judgment, Jesus lays down the plain truth that there are only two ways to go: to him, or not to him. Fundamentally, that choice--even before he has died on the cross--is the characteristic seed of faith that ultimately leads to trusting in his sacrifice for salvation.

After all that Jesus has said about how we view ourselves in regards to our sin, our righteousness, and our possession, he now turns our attention to how we view others. Our assessment of their rightness or wrongness, our approach in dealing with their shortcomings, our call to judge one another... the right way--this too is an area of our hearts that requires complete spiritual renovation by coming to the Lord and trusting and depending on Him.

If you were to simply inspect what the people in the New Testament believed during Jesus' lifetime, what kind of theology would you find about the future for Israel? Did the religious leaders believe the promises were literal? figurative? forfeited? What did Jesus believe about the nation's future in God's plan?

Jesus speaks more on the issue of money/wealth than any other issue in the Bible. Here, in his iconic Sermon on the Mount, he once again renovates our understanding of how God determines blessed and righteous living versus cursed and sinful living, all in regards to the wealth have and how you see it.

Jesus revealed to us that even when we refrain from doing wrong, that does not mean we are in the right. And now he tells us that even when we do what's right, it does not mean we are doing it rightly. Once again, God's standard of righteousness is higher than man's, as He inspects our hearts, not just our deeds.

Beginning with the covenant to Abraham, God proves that He fulfills His promises just the way that He says them. The question is whether or not that promise has been fully fulfilled yet, either for ethnic Israel or instead for the Church.

Just as Jesus has recovered the truth behind who is blessed, he moves on to recover the truth behind who is righteous. To no surprise, righteousness is only truly righteous if you are perfect; but it's not the perfection the Jews were thinking.

The Old Testament seems to be about Israel.  The New Testament seems to be about the Church.  Are they same?  Are they different?  What is their involvement with each other?  Which one(s) is God’s covenant people?

These theological questions determine your outlook on what God said in the beginning, what He's doing now in the middle, and how He'll bring things to the prophesied end.
