Welcome to the Summer of the Sermon! Each Sunday through the summer we are going to go through and dig in to the Sermon on the Mount and discover what exactly Jesus wants from us.
Jesus is calling us to a higher standard. He is challenging us to grow in obedience to him. The last few paragraphs of Jesus’ sermon are on the theme of a greater righteousness. A righteousness that cannot be achieved by following the law. The godliness that Jesus is talking about cannot be comprehensively formulated in a set of rules. The ethics of this Sermon are not exhaustive, they are suggestive. In other words, as we pursue Jesus, and fall in love with him, and become more like him, we begin to reflect his character and likeness.
