The Way That Leads to Life

by Michael Eaton

Most people have heard of the Sermon on the Mount and are aware of some of its contents yet it is often a miss-understood sermon; people see the 'niceness' of Jesus' words and are not aware of the radical nature of what he taught. It is a description of the kind of life that is to be lived by Jesus' disciples. It is a call to live for the things of heaven rather than the temporary satisfaction of worldly things. It is also a call to abandon any dependence on earthly status or riches and instead develop a life dependant upon God and concern for others. It was designed to shatter our self-confidence and lead us to repentance. It is the opposite of modern self-ishness and a call to godly self-lessness, it tells us to get up and start changing our lives to conform to the quality of life demanded by our master and teacher, Jesus.
