The trouble with the Sermon on the Mount is it’s so familiar that almost nobody listens to it, almost nobody knows what it’s saying. How do we know that?

There are basically three great things Jesus says that are utterly astounding:

1) that there are two ways, two options spiritually,

2) that at the end of those two ways, there’s a judge, and

3) that at the end of that judgment, there’s a sentence.
