How do we follow Jesus in a time so distant from His? Today, church leaders are looking for how we can best train a new generation to follow Jesus. The Sermon on the Mount was given to us by Christ Himself as a showcase of what it means to follow Him: Wouldn't this world be a better place if we all aimed for the kind of life and selfless relationships that Jesus urges us to live? Indeed, we sense that this Sermon is from God's lips to our ears. From above, King Jesus still imparts hope, faith, and vision of this kingdom He's promised to bring. We, His people, are still being shaped under His leadership by His Spirit and His Word. May God bless every reader to embrace what He would teach us about how to live here and now as citizens of the kingdom.
