The Minister started a new series in the Sermon on the Mount. He explained how the passage is commonly misunderstood and spent no little time emphasizing the importance of 5:1 where Christ goes up to the mountain, sits down, and opens His mouth. Going up to the mountain points back to how Moses went atop the mountain to receive the Law. Sitting points to Christ’s kingship and teaching authority and opening His mouth points to Him being the Word who has become flesh and teaches what the Law and Prophets pointed to all along.
