Subject: The Sermon on the Mount? |
Bible Note: Greetings Prayon! Thanks for the response! I was particularly intrigued by your quoted statement that: "It reveals the standard of righteousness that Christ requires of all who belong to Him (5:1)." This understanding would be in harmony with Mt. 5:20, which says, "For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven." I firmly believe that Mt. 5:20 is the key to understanding the entire Sermon on the Mount. The pharisees believed that one could earn right standing with God through obedience to the Law. However, Jesus demonstrates over and over again in the Sermon on the Mount that this is impossible. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
