Sermon on the Mount 7-16-95 Luke 6:27-36
Important Teachings.....I tell you who will hear me....not everyone hears
What is really important in this life???
Jews fixated on OT concept....eye for eye
Jesus reminds them.....love their enemies
Turn the other cheek.....come and slap me
Do not take offense at the wrongs they do to you
who are you anyway, someone who can never be wrong?
difficulty will come to you , but we do not embrace it by being difficult ourselves
If you love only those who love you, what good is that?
people of character win even their enemies
If someone asks for your cloak, give him also your tunic
jacket....tie...shirt
Does it mean exactly what it says????
give me your house.....your car....your pants
maybe its an illustration about things.....
things are not the most important part of life.....people are.
Human existence is a miracle.....
body is a miracle
body of clay combined with a spirit
day will come when the body fails....only the spirit is left
these around you are not merely people, they are spirit beings
deserving of your love & compassion
love your enemies... do good to those who hurt you
live not in the plane of the flesh, but strive to live in the world of the spirit
then your reward will be great, and you will be called sons of he most high God
Amen
