In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus does not start off the “Lord’s Prayer” with “Our King,” even though God is our King. He doesn’t start with “Our Creator,” even though He is our creator. Jesus doesn’t even start off with “Our Friend,” even though we are told that we can be friends of God. Jesus starts in a place where we all must start when wanting to honestly hear God’s voice in any situation--He starts with “Our Father.”
The Sermon on the Mount is the first of five major discourses in the Gospel of Matthew. All five follow blocks of narrative material; all five end with the same formula (Like Matt 7:28–29 And when Jesus finished these sayings, the crowds were astonished at his teaching, for he was teaching them as one who had authority, and not as their scribes.) Jesus' Sermon on the Mount deals with ethical issues of deep rooted importance in every age, this “sermon” has caused thousands of books and articles to be written.
