The Sermon on the Mount has been called 'The Manifesto of the King'. It is the essence of the teaching of Jesus presented to His disciples. To those who heard it on the hill overlooking Galilee 2000 years ago, it had an immediate impact. In some respects it was revolutionary, overturning the accepted ideas of the time. It packs a powerful punch today, and will bring the peace that passes understanding to all who read these wonderful words of life as presented by Jesus Christ Himself.
