Bottom Line!
When Jesus finished saying these things, the people were
amazed at his teaching. Jesus did not teach like their
teachers of the law. Jesus taught like a person that had
authority (power).
-- Matthew 7:28-29 (ERV)
KEY THOUGHT:
That's the point. Jesus is not like the teachers of the Law. They're
expertise came from knowing the many different interpretations of the
Jewish Law over the years. Jesus comes and teaches us the heart of
God's will in the Sermon on the Mount. It's the heart of the matter
taught by one with all authority. This is not only truth, but it is the
livable truth of God. You see, Jesus is more than Teacher, he is Master
and Lord. His word is authoritative! So let's live it
TODAY'S PRAYER:
Loving and sacrificial Father, thank you for sending Jesus to be your
living message and your authoritative Word. Bless me and please change
me as I try to live out that authoritative message in my life. Give me
strength, courage, and integrity as I seek to live to your glory. In
the name of Jesus Christ I pray. Amen.
