The Sermon on the Mount is so familiar to us that it is easy to lose sight of how revolutionary its teachings are. We will do a close reading of this remarkable set of statements, as recorded in Matthew 5-7.
Our process of reading the gospels, carefully and prayerfully, must begin with the themes that are set out in this remarkable sermon. The Beatitudes, the Lord’s Prayer, and a whole new take on the Ten Commandments are just a few of the gems we find here. When we ask ourselves the question, “What would Jesus do?” we will often find the answer in these chapters.
Several members of our class shared insights on the ways that Jesus teaches us to love, pray, give, feel, act and, finally, whom to follow.
