Morning Light - Matthew 5

Today: [Matthew 5] The Sermon on the Mount: In Matt. 5 we find the first recorded teaching of Jesus in the first gospel written by Matthew. In His remarks Jesus speaks about divorce, swearing of oaths, and how his disciples should conduct themselves in court proceedings. It is a teaching emphasizing humility and the benefits and blessings that come upon the person who chooses to go low in times of challenge and temptation rather than living a life filled with hatred and resentment. Just what is the kingdom of heaven? How do we inherit it? These questions are answered in today’s study.
