The Word Of God Provides A Source Of Inexhaustible Material For Spiritual Blessing and Enrichment
Some weeks ago, I began a serious study of the Sermon on the Mount and it has been a richly rewarding time, examining what Jesus Christ actually said and how he is commenting on what was taught and revealed in the Old Testament and how the Scribes and Pharisees and legalists had distorted and twisted much of what Almighty God had said through Moses and the prophets. The Old Testament indicates the reality of sin and the power of sin and its devastating effects. Some people tend to run away from this fact and even in government circles today we see leadership which has gone against the ways and plans and will of God. In the Old Testament, we see something of the problem, and then God gives us the remedy, as Jesus Christ comes to us in our sin to rescue us and forgive us. You are forgiven. Now live like this. That is the basic message of the Sermon on the Mount.
