Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount — Matthew 5-7
This sermon, delivered early in the ministry of Jesus Christ, summarizes what it means to be a Disciple, a Christian and a Citizen in the kingdom of heaven. The conduct and character described by Jesus in this lesson is demanded of those who will follow him. Unfortunately, we are too quick to modify His standard to one of our own choosing. This study encourages you to become what Jesus expects you to be.
