Sermon on the Mount: Intro

Why should we study the Sermon on the Mount? (Taught by Kevin Chan, 11.11.2012)

In Matthew 5:1, the multitudes listened but it was the disciples that were the primary audience. IT IS THE KING'S AUTHORITATIVE MESSAGE TO HIS CITIZENS TO BE KINGDOM PEOPLE. Jesus was instructing his disciples that as Kingdom citizens (accepted him as Lord and Savior, Phil. 3:20), they should have a Kingdom-perspective on the future outlook of life as well as on the present role in this world.

 For us believers in Jesus Christ, living in this world should be like "fish out of water".  It should feel uncomfortable and we should yearn for a better place, i.e., His Kingdom.  We are citizens and people of God's kingdom and not the kingdom of this world.  It should be normal to feel out of place.  It should be normal to feel persecuted.  As Noreen Lue onced shared with me about the hardship of being an American in Japan, there is a truth to the Japanese phrase that "the nail that sticks out gets hammered".  We should be "nails" of God's Kingdom;we should feel "hammered" by the world.  But that is because, even though we are in this world, we are of the God's kingdom and not of this world.  Our hope is for a "better country, that is, a heavenly one", Heb. 11:16.

 Jesus' sermon on the mount will further explain the message TO BE KINGDOM PEOPLE.  It will instruct us on bearing the characteristics, qualities, expectations, ethics, standards, values and uniqueness of God's kingdom people.  It will exhort us to what we CAN be (through Jesus Christ) and what we OUGHT to be.  Come to Passage as we look deeper in BEING KINGDOM PEOPLE!
