Sermon on the Mount

Around two thousand years ago, Jesus sat down on a mountain and taught his disciples what it means to follow him. This speech, known as the Sermon on the Mount, would go on to change the world. Jesus talked about the true meaning of love, compassion, and morals. His words were so full of hope and life, and yet riddled with hard sayings and difficult commands. But for those who received his teachings, they discovered the way of life and blessing. For the next four hundred years, the followers of Jesus would be mocked and ridiculed. They were despised, fired from their jobs, and persecuted. Some were even killed for following the radical teachings of Jesus. But time and time again, they returned to the very speech Jesus gave on the mountain. And as a result, against all odds, the greatest movement in the history of the world grew and flourished.
