Sermon On The Mount
By Mark Flippo
The Sermon is the longest continuous section of Jesus speaking found in the New Testament, and has been one of the most widely quoted elements of the Canonical Gospels. It includes some of the best known teachings of Jesus, such as the Beatitudes, and the widely recited Lord's Prayer. In the discourse, Jesus fulfills and reinterprets the Old Covenant and in particular its Ten Commandments, contrasting with what "you have heard" from others. For example, he advises turning the other cheek, in contrast to taking an eye for an eye. (Wikipedia)
Jesus gave us a better understanding of what was said in the Old Testament. He removed any doubt that folks had. Disputing the Old Testament was a daily thing in the synagogue! Those Hebrews loved to argue. Each group had to be right with their interpretation. Don't get hung up in debates and arguments today! They just don't accomplish anything good. All I have ever seen is bad attitudes and no one changes their minds!!
