The Sermon on the Mount is one of the most pivotal teachings we have from Jesus. Not only is it theologically rich, teaching us about God and His expectations for us, but it is likewise incredibly practical. The Sermon on the Mount is not merely to be read, but to be lived. Through Jesus’ instructions to His disciples, He establishes not only an expectation but a pattern for life. The true joy that is found through the Sermon is not only that it is to be lived individually, but within community as well. To grasp the fullness of what Jesus teaches His disciples is to discover how His words are to be applied to the Body of Christ overall. Jesus reveals, through the Sermon on the Mount, the heart of God for the heart of humanity. To take this set of teaching from Jesus to heart leads the disciple of Jesus on the path to holiness and righteousness. Additionally, it equips the disciple with the core teachings that are necessary for replicating disciple making. On the whole, the Sermon on the Mount equips the disciple for deeper faith and greater faithfulness to God through its application and action.
