In this episode, JC Schroeder describes how the introduction and conclusion to the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5-7 is so important. The introduction and conclusion act as an interpretive lens for reading the Jesus’ Sermon. Some of the connections Matthew makes are subtle, so he points these out from the Greek New Testament text.
