Matthew 5:1-48
No one avoids having his or her toes stepped on in the
Sermon on the Mount. As He taught, Jesus emphasized
our motives and attitudes, not just our behavior.
✞ Godly Living Brings True Happiness
(Matthew 5:1-16)
The poor, the mournful, the defenseless, and needy
were the ones Jesus proclaimed blessed - not the rich
and powerful. This was countercultural thinking!
✞ Godly Living Goes Beyond the Letter of the Law
(Matthew 5:17-48)
Jesus addressed the issues of anger, lust, divorce,
integrity, retaliation, and equity in His sermon. His
expectations of those who followed Him extended far
beyond appearances. God's law gets to the heart of
the matter.
