Luke 6:20-49 3-22-15 Introduction – A. Was this the Sermon on the Mount? - ¿Era éste el Sermón de la Montaña? 1. mountain or plain? Dr. D.A. Carson points out that the Greek word translated "plain" can mean "a plateau in a mountainous region" (Exegetical Fallacies, Baker, p. 43).

They are different - Son diferentes 1. undoubtedly Jesus repeated themes with different emphases (I’m doing it now) 2. Luke has a different emphasis than Matthew 3. Matthew (King) focuses on the condition of your heart 4. Luke (humanity) focuses on your condition 5. Hope, something to look forward to 6. Hope based, not in the circumstances of this life, but in spiritual truth (the Kingdom of Heaven) - La Esperanza es basada, no en las circunstancias de esta vida, pero en verdad espiritual (el Reino de los Cielos) Romans 8:23-25 And not only this, but also we ourselves, having the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our body. For in hope we have been saved, but hope that is seen is not hope; for who hopes for what he already sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, with perseverance we wait eagerly for it. Life was difficult for the people of that day and there was not much hope their circumstances would be improved. Bible Exposition Commentary - New Testament - The Bible Exposition Commentary – New Testament, Volume 1. This sermon is not "the Gospel" and nobody goes to heaven by "following the Sermon on the Mount." Dead sinners cannot obey the living God; they must first be born again and receive God's life (John 3:1-7, 36). Nor is this sermon a "constitution" for the kingdom God will one day establish on earth (Matt. 20:21; Luke 22:30). The Sermon on the Mount applies to life today and describes the kind of godly character we should have as believers in this world. Certainly our Lord describes a life situation quite unlike that of the glorious kingdom, including hunger, tears, persecution, and false teachers.

For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven, And do not return there without watering the earth And making it bear and sprout, And furnishing seed to the sower and bread to the eater; So will My word be which goes forth from My mouth; It will not return to Me empty, Without accomplishing what I desire, And without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it.
