It takes less than 15 minutes to read what is arguably the most powerful and controversial sermon ever given. The teacher is Jesus, the place is on a mountainside and the audience consists of both his disciples and large crowds that were following him. When this sermon is heard and obeyed, your life will be radically transformed.
3 characteristics of the sermon that will help you prepare to hear and put into practice what Jesus teaches:
1. Meet the teacher--will you listen to him? 5:2
His authority as the teacher
His authority as the LORD
His authority as the judge
2. Look at the topic--are you interested? 6:8
This new way of life...taught by Jesus
Clearly countercultrual
Clearly supernatural
3. Prepare for the ending--will you learn? 7:24
Note the common responses:
say and do---say and do not 7:21-23
hear and do---hear and do not 7:24-27
