Description:   The followers of Jesus are to be different writes John Stott different from both the nominal church and the secular world different from both the religious and the irreligious. The Sermon on the Mount is the most complete delineation anywhere in the New Testament of the Christian counter-culture. In the Sermon on the Mount the nearest thing to a manifesto that Jesus ever uttered we find Jesus own description of what he wanted his followers to be and do. In this Bible Speaks Today volume Stott guides readers through Jesus well-known but often poorly understood teachings in Matthew 5 through 7. He identifies key themes in the Sermon that demonstrate its ongoing relevance to believers: a Christian s character influence righteousness piety ambition relationships and commitment. Leading us to listen carefully to the meaning of each verse in its context Stott also confronts the challenges this text raises for today s Christians and draws out practical applications. A seven-session study guide at the end of the book will help you more deeply ponder the message of the Sermon on the Mount and how it speaks to your life. If the church truly lived by the standards and values Jesus set forth in this passage Stott declares it would be the authentic alternative society that he always intended it to be--showing a dark world what human life looks like under the gracious rule of God.
