Sermon of the mount:

I don’t recall if this was from a church talk or a fireside. Any misinformation is the fault of the note taker. Here’s the link: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%205-7&version=KJV

– Mark twain: There are two types of speakers: those who are scared and those who are liars.

– Contest and settings. Matthew sets the stage that is the dispensations, line in the same between the old and new testaments.
– The savior symbolically ascended a mountain and delivers the new law and covenant to Israel. This new law is not about the worldly kingdom and pursues. It is about the kingdom of heaven.
– The sermon is the requirements of the kingdom of heaven.

– There is not a single word in the mount of belief it is about what to do. Do is listed at least one time.

– Dietrich Von Hofer: human speakers it can interpret the sermon of mount a thousand ways. Christ has one way.
– Pray for them that despitefully use you. Do good and pray for those who are not easy to love. One person said this is a good description of motherhood.

– Consider the place you invest time and money. Se the treasurers you are accumulating be transferrable to the next life.
– We do not live the sermon of the mount because it is easy. Most of what Christ asks us he wants to be done in secret. Do the most good in this life and no one knows about it.

– 39 miracles recorded in the gospel. How mammy do you think went unrecorded? How many happened that were not recorded. Most of us are oblivious to how much and how often Jesus gave and forgave and how he loves and blesses and does good and praise for us. Even when there are times when we are hard to love.
– We may look in lives and see with heaven’s hindsight how Christ has blessed us.
