As we begin studying the sermon on the mount, Jesus begins his sermon with “blessings” upon certain attributes displayed in the kingdom, commonly known as the Beatitudes. There is also much to be gleaned from looking at the negative warnings of these (the “woe’s” as they are put in Luke’s gospel account). Let us lay hold on the blessings and joy in the abundant life in the kingdom of God, and avoid the woes, and unjoyful condition of the children of God who choose to act the opposite of these attributes.

For the disciples of Christ who Jesus called to follow him, he had to teach them what life was supposed to look like in the kingdom of God. He had to tear down the misconceptions of these Jewish men that the general culture of the outward show of religion of their day was actually diametrically opposed to how they were supposed to live serving God in the kingdom. In the summary introduction of the sermon on the mount, we consider the overall theme of the astonishing message to his disciples of how they were going to serve the Lord in the kingdom.

By faith, Abram left his homeland in Ur of Chaldees on his way to the land of Canaan. While he took an uncommanded pit stop in Haran for a bit, he eventually pressed into Canaan. On this journey, we see in Heb. 11, that Abraham was looking for something better than the city that he came out of, and he desired a better country, a heavenly country that he sought by following God in faith.

Jesus said the lawyers had taken away the key of knowledge from many children of God and hindered those who were entering in from pressing fully into the kingdom. We need to press through all the hinderances to our discipleship and take the key of knowledge and enter into the fullness of enjoyment of the grace wherein we stand.

In our race of discipleship, we have to run with endurance. Our life is a marathon that requires consistency and steadfastness. We need to lay aside every weight that easily besets us, particularly the yoke of bondage of false doctrine because that will severely hinder our running well. We all get tired and weary in running our race, but the Lord promises those who wait upon the Lord will renew their strength and run and not be weary.

In the beginning of Babylon created by Nimrod, the pinnacle monument of that kingdom was a tower that they desired to build up to heaven. This tower was a monument to man’s pride and rebellion against God – to build a tower to glorify their own name and to validate their own legacy. As with all works of men, the Lord brought that tower to naught, by scattering them since they could no longer communicate until the tower crumbled.

What exactly does the Lord say that he requires of his children? To love God with all our heart, soul, and mind. To fear God. To walk in all his ways and commandments. To serve God with all our heart. To do justly. To love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God.

Every day we make decisions about how to dress and what clothes to put on, and in like manner in the kingdom of God, we have to make the purposeful decision to put off the flesh that comes naturally and put on the clothing of the elect. To be clothed with humility. To put on mercy, kindness, longsuffering, and love – and ultimately, to put on Christ.
