The.' Sermon on the Mount', (Matthew 5-7) is admired by so many people and has influenced many,commenting on it William Hendriksen writes,'The sermon itself is well organized.This is true with respect to all the reported discourses of our Lord. Let preachers take note of this in making their sermons, Jesus never rambled. He chose a theme. In the present case that theme is obviously''the gospel of the kingdom'' ( 4 v23 ) As we consider the sermon,we can understand and appreciate the words of those who came to arrest Jesus,and didn't,and when they were asked why they didn't, they replied,'No one ever spoke like this man'( John 7 v 46 ).His words stopped them in their tracks , literally millions have been stopped in their evil tracks,like the apostle Paul who was blinded by hatred of the man of Galilee ,then Christ broke into his life,,and from that time on, he who had hated Jesus,loved him and followed Him for the rest of His life. ( Acts 9 v 1 - 10 ) Jesus who is the word, brought all things into place, yes He created everything. (John 1 v 3/ Colossians 1 v15- 17/ Hebrews 1 v 2. It was Peter who said to Jesus,''Lord , to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life''.You want eternal life?, listen to what Jesus has to say,and believe in Him as your Saviour and you will have eternal life.
