Mountain Series

 And seeing the multitudes, He, Jesus Christ, went up on a mountain, and when He was seated His disciples came to Him, Then He opened His mouth and taught them, saying.   Hi friends this is the opening of Matthew 5:1-2, the beginning of the Sermon on the Mount, as it is known by many. This sermon and teachings of Jesus Christ are three chapters long,5,6, and 7. I was inspired to write about this sermon and published it in 2012 through 2013. I am revisiting this series and revising it, and have called it The Mountain Series. Come let us both sit at the feet of Jesus Christ through his words that are recorded in these chapters, and by doing so I hope that you and I will be inspired, strengthen, encourage, and richly blessed through God's living word, Jesus Christ.

The following comment is inspired by Matthew 5:20, " For I say unto you,That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven."  All nations have groups of people who governs, teach,enforce laws and standards to it's people. Israel is not different.  The Scribes and Pharisees are apart of Israel's governing establishment, who help guide and governs the people. What makes us justified before God is if we obey the laws of God, the same if we obey the laws of the land. Notice, Jesus is not rebuking the Scribes and Pharisees for being  scribes and Pharisees,but for the corruption that have took over under their watch, and the unbelief and self righteousness that they have in their hearts against. The Scribes and Pharisees are not the only ones guilty of these sins,it can be found in the Christian establishment today. Lord help us to repent.

The following comment is inspired by Matthew 5:13," You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor,how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men."  Jesus in his earthly ministry had taught and warned the Apostles and all who had and will follow him,that without him we can't do nothing. One of the uses of salt in Jesus time was to preserve meat. We who are christians is like salt and Jesus is the one who gives us the savior power. If we give up our faith in Jesus Christ,which is given to us in the gospel,we will be lost and lose those who we are trying to save. Let us keep our savior power,who is Jesus Christ.

The following comment is inspired by Matthew 5:21," Ye have heard that it was said of them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment."  Killing is done through out our lives,whether It's the killing of animals for food for us who eat meat,or the picking of fruits and vegetables  to eat as a vegetarian,and many other things and life sources that we kill on a daily basis.  Although this is not what Jesus is refering to as he says that you have heard that it was said of them of old times,Thou shalt not kill,speaking about one of the commandments under the law and of people,yet these things we kill.We don't have permission from God to just kill people whenever we feel like it,or because we don't  like them and have the means and the will to do so. Killing  just like seasons and every other purpose  under heaven have a time, as it is stated in  Ecclesiastes 3:1-8, and it is justified  by God when it is done in this
