The Sermon on the Mount

February 11

The Sermon on the Mount

Many see the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7) as Jesus' inaugural address, in which He outlined the ethics of His kingdom. It is also, in many ways, a manifesto of discipleship, for it holds the keys to being a faithful disciple of Christ.

Read Matthew 5:1. What was the background of the sermon? To whom did He immediately give it?

Who knows how many books have been written expounding upon this sermon? For our purposes, we want to look at what things in it are especially pertinent to what it means to be a disciple of Jesus.

Read Matthew 5:13-16. What is the message there for us, as disciples of Christ? Why are these words particularly important to us as Adventists, given our understanding of the three angels' messages of Revelation 14:6-12?

Read Matthew 6:5-13. What important lesson is Jesus giving us here for discipleship?

Read Matthew 6:19-21. Why are these words, in many ways, the essence of what true discipleship is about? Ask yourself, "Where is my treasure [That is, Where is my heart], in heaven or on earth?" If you do not like the answer, what can you do to change?
