Hearing Jesus: Devotionals from the Sermon on the Mount

"You can never go wrong studying, Jesus," Dr. Darrel Bock told me. This has become one of my favorite phrases. The Bible is one of the most accessible, understandable, and yet completely complex books ever written. It is filled with stories, advice, love letters, prophecy, poems, and prose. It is history in all its rawness combined with a promise that started when time began and was fulfilled with Jesus. With him as our focus, we cannot go wrong.

If you have ever wondered, "Who is this Jesus?", "What does He stand for?", "What does it mean to be a follower of Christ?", or "What makes Him different than religion?", then I encourage you to take a journey through the Sermon on the Mount. Nothing speaks to the heart of the Messiah's mission more than it does.
