The Sermon on the Mount was preached to Christ's disciples, it says in verse 1 of chapter 5. The Lord Jesus went up on a high mountain and when He was seated, He opened His mouth and He taught them. And what a sermon it was; so very different from what any of them had ever heard before. But how very important it was to their eternal spiritual welfare; how very informative and helpful it was, for those whom Jesus came to save. I trust that it will be the same for all of us here today. In attempting to help us to benefit the most that we can from this amazing sermon which the Lord Jesus preached, I want to give you answers to the following 3 questions which will set the stage for our being able to understand all the rest of Christ's sermon in chapters 5, 6, and 7. 1st of all – What is the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Heaven? 2nd – What did it mean for Jesus and the apostles to preach the gospel of the kingdom? And 3rd – How can being poor in spirit bring the blessing of possessing the kingdom of heaven? May the Lord give each of us wisdom to see how we might enter and become those who possess the kingdom of heaven.
