About this listen

 The "Sermon on the Mount," found in Matthew chapters 5 through 7, contains some of the best-known teaching of Jesus, including the Lord's Prayer. It also includes some of the most ethically challenging words in all of the New Testament. This show will explore the sermon bit by bit, as Jesus calls believers to a kind of righteousness that is lived out in the everyday challenges of relationships.Copyright 2025 Cameron Lee.

    The sermon is over. But before moving on to the next part of the story, Matthew adds a closing comment, an observation about how the crowd reacted to Jesus’ preaching. The people were amazed, because they saw something in Jesus’ demeanor and heard something in his words that their teachers refused to recognize: this was a man with the authority of God.

    Jesus’ first warning at the end of the sermon was that there are two roads from which to choose. Only one leads to life; the other leads to destruction. Similarly, his fourth and final warning—the closing words of the sermon—warn that there are two ways of building a house, one wise and one foolish, and the foolish way leads to destruction.

    I imagine Jesus’ hearers being shocked by Jesus’ words in the third warning. How can people who do such amazing things as casting out demons and miraculous healings be rejected by him and called “evildoers”? Would we have reacted similarly? If so, we need to be reminded of what Jesus says in the rest of the sermon: faithfulness isn’t about showy demonstrations, but about obeying the teaching of Jesus in the way we relate to others.
