Obtenha a appJesus, I Need You Part 6Exemplo
In this plan, we will climb the mount for the privilege to sit under the most profound teaching ever delivered by the wisest, most loving teacher who ever lived. Jesus’ words were radically different from those of the religious leaders during that day. His words rocked the world of those who heard. It wasn’t easy to hear, and it isn’t easy to read now. Jesus didn’t leave many stones unturned. It was intended to rock our world! It was supposed to ruffle our feathers and get under our skin.
The standard set in this sermon is so lofty that it appears unattainable, and most people have written it off as a mere ideal, not a way of life. Jesus presents divine wisdom, a radical lifestyle, and a new kingdom. Jesus offers himself in His death and resurrection as the only door into that new kingdom. And He gives us His Spirit who begins to make this radical lifestyle a reality in our lives. Jesus Christ is able to give us all we need to enter and then live out the kingdom of heaven because He is the kingdom!
Our flesh -- our sin nature -- is going to resist. It may try to turn a deaf ear or be ready to deny or skip over the entire message because it doesn’t want to hear it. I hope we will take to heart what we read over the next few days as if Jesus were saying it directly to us! May God grant us the grace to understand that He expects us to live it out! I hope He will rock our world and the world around us!
