I am still surprised that so many people still don't read the Bible!. It tells you everything you need to know about life!. Everything!. The Sermon on the Mount is one of the easiest chapters of the Bible to memorize!. In the newer editions of the Bible (TNIV), even children (or should I say, especially children) can understand Jesus' teachings!.

The Sermon on the Mount is basically written daily considerations and rules for living together in harmony!. That's all!. When Jesus first speaks, he tells us all the rewards we will receive if we do certain things His way!. How hard can that be!? I have done them all!. Not for any reward, but just because I wanted to!. I want to please Jesus!. Why wouldn't I!? It's the least I could do for someone who gave up his innocent life for on my behalf!. I can never repay him for all his love - even into eternity!. The best thing I can do is thank Him for the rest of my life!. And I am doing so!. If you would like to read the Sermon on the Mount, it begins in Matthew, Chapter 5!. By the way, I didn't have to look that up!.
