The aim of God’s life-giving grace in the Kingdom of God is for us to be perfect like God. That is what Jesus tells us in this passage from the Sermon on the Mount. It is here that He draws a clear line and boundary between the manifesto of the Kingdom of God and the message of religion.
Episode 14: Manifesto: Life, Politics, and Reality in the Kingdom of God
In this episode, we begin to look at what I call “the recalibrations.” This is the section of the Sermon on the Mount where Jesus distinguishes His Manifesto from the teachings and traditions of the religious leaders.
What we traditionally refer to as the “Sermon on the Mount” was actually a revolutionary manifesto for a new way of life in the Kingdom of God. In today’s unsettling and polarized age, the teachings of this Kingdom Manifesto are as relevant and vital as ever. In this multi-part series, JB Shreve and Faithful Considerations takes a deep dive into the Manifesto: Life, Politics, and Reality in the Kingdom of God.
