Sermon on the Mount
9 EPISODES
The entry of Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew is nothing short of astounding. His genealogy, birth, baptism and temptation in the wilderness were all saturated with Old Testament imagery and quotations, leaving us with the firm impression that Jesus is about to do something revolutionary and dramatic. The large crowds sense this as well as more gather around Jesus.
Seeing the crowds, Jesus ascends a mountain side and gives his famous ‘Sermon on the Mount’ to clarify what his Kingdom is like: a thoroughly upside-down Kingdom whose morals and demands defy convention and are intimately wrapped up in Jesus himself.
