OVERVIEW
Studies in the Sermon on the Mount
Jesus Came Preaching. What did He preach? Grace? Justification? No! He preached the kingdom of heaven--not in generalities, but in specifics, the principles of that kingdom.
A great work was yet to be accomplished for [His] disciples before they would be prepared for the sacred trust that would be theirs...Though slow of heart to believe, Jesus saw in them those whom He could train and discipline for His Great work." MB3
His eyes, His thoughts were on "that day" when He would return to make up His kingdom--also on preparing today's disciples, you and me, for the trust that is ours.
