The Father’s Way: The Standard for Kingdom Life | Nick Johnson

This sermon introduces the Sermon on the Mount by tracing the biblical calling of humanity to image God through steadfast love and faithfulness. God reveals His own character to Moses as abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness, then creates mankind in His image to reflect that character and represent His rule in covenant relationship. Yet Adam, Noah, Abraham, Israel, David, and David’s sons all fall short, creating the need for one faithful Son who can fulfill what every covenant son failed to become. Matthew presents Jesus as that faithful Son-King: the Son of David, Son of Abraham, beloved Son, and obedient Son who perfectly represents the Father. Therefore, in the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus teaches His people the kingdom ethic: heart-level obedience that displays the Father’s character so that His name is hallowed, His kingdom comes, and His will is done on earth as it is in heaven.
