Jesus is hands down the greatest teacher who has ever walked the Earth (granted it is somewhat cheating since He is God). Every time Jesus spoke, he literally blew everyone’s minds! When Jesus speaks, He speaks with power and authority. We learn in the scriptures that Jesus’ authority was not just found in words, but how His words effected reality.
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.
