Thank you Dasev. Yes, I received Jesus in November 1991. You are gracious to ask. My question comes from my (limited) understanding of our fallen nature. If one was not regenerated through faith in Jesus, how could one hunger and thirst for a righteousness she does not know or even believe exists? However, I believe your reference to grace is correct and very important. It is God's province how the marvelous workings of the Holy Spirit brings about a harvest of souls. But back to the Sermon on the Mount, what is your take on the theme and thrust of what Jesus was trying to convey? This is an important teaching, don't you agree. God bless you, Dave R. |

DEAR DAVE R., dasev here the thrust of the ser o t mt : one: here are the sort of people Jesus blesses and what happens to them. two: here is the reality of sin, it is found in the inner man, not just in the deeds he does, the roots of sin are in the heart three: these are the consequenses of sin, and of the misapplication of the law four: here is the character of My Father: good,just, loving, a provider. five: entrance into My kingdom is not easy to those who seek ease, one must give effort and DIG DEEP. AND MORE..... THE MAIN THRUST IS PERHAPS: Hi, my name is Jesus. I'm God your Father's Son. you dont know me very well, you have been misled by many who say they know my Fathers law. they don't. I do. listen to me and i will show you all you need to know. it's sort of The Gospel for Dummies as the jews of that day had with some exceptions been led astray by false or unfaithfull shepherds. |

Well said. I like your "Gospel for Dummies" analogy. It's humorous, but on point. And something else you said about effort: I've heard it said, and I agree, that that Gospel is opposed to earning, but not opposed to effort. Digging deep means getting your hands dirty, right? Thanks, Dave R. |
