Overview
The Sermon on the Mount is very famous because in it, Jesus says, “This is what God wants from you. This is the law.” Jesus demands things that no other founder of any religion has ever demanded. Traditionally, when people read the law, they say, “This is what I have to do to be a Christian.” That is not what Jesus is saying here. If you stand back and look at the whole thing, you see that even the law is filled with grace.
The law of God, as Jesus Christ expounds it, just picks us up and, like a wave, drives us into grace.
How is the law filled with grace? How does the law actually show you a Savior? Let’s look at 1) the pain of the law, 2) the premise of the law, and 3) the profile of the law.
