Matthew 5:1-2

In Matthew 5:1-2 Jesus gives his famous Sermon on the Mount. He gives this sermon as the reigning King and lawgiver of the coming Kingdom of God, showing what true devotion to God looks like. Christ is the King as David’s son, the lawgiver as the new Moses, and the reigning Son of God. As such he teaches with authority, showing what being a true member of God’s kingdom looks like.
