Sermon on the mount series message 27

Text: Matthew 7:28-29

Matthew's commentary, after Jesus finishes speaking, is as important as the words themselves. The reaction of the crowd is vital to help us appreciate the weight of what was said. Jesus did not speak as their religious leaders did, He did so with authority! This was none other than the Son of God coming to destroy the works of the devil and expose the religion of externalities and carnal pride! We do well to listen to all of what Jesus taught, certainly not just the parts we like or the words that are popular today.
