Hello World
The Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7) is one of Jesus’ most iconic teachings, encompassing core ethical and spiritual principles of Christianity. It begins with the Beatitudes, which highlight virtues such as humility, mercy, and purity of heart. Jesus emphasizes the full fulfillment of the Law, urging followers to go beyond external actions and focus on the heart’s intentions (e.g., loving enemies, honesty without oaths). He addresses prayer (including the Lord’s Prayer), trust in God, seeking the Kingdom of Heaven, and the importance of living out His teachings. It concludes with the analogy of a house built on rock, symbolizing faith grounded in His words. Regarded as a manifesto for ethical living, justice, and authentic relationships with God and others, it remains a foundational text for Christian morality.
