In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus presents a beautiful, compelling vision of life in the kingdom of God.<\/p>\n
This is an upside-down sort of life where the meek, persecuted, and poor in spirit are called blessed; where both neighbor and enemy are equally loved; and where an eternal perspective radically changes how we pray, handle money, relate to others, and more.<\/p>\n
As a whole, the sermon reveals who populates God\u2019s kingdom (those who love and enjoy Jesus), and how kingdom citizens are to live life on Earth (rested and satisfied in Christ and reflecting Him to the world around them).<\/p>\n
