Sermon on the Mount, Part 22 – Ask, Seek, Knock

2,000 years ago, our Lord Jesus Christ taught us how we as Christians ought to live. Our Lord never sugar-coats or backs away from tough subjects. Jesus teaches us that the Father wants us to learn to depend on Him daily. This is a consistent theme in the Sermon on the Mount. He says in Matthew 7:7-11, “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. Or which one of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent? If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!
