Reviews

[Aaron Michael · Rating 5 out of 5]

“What is the Sermon on the Mount? It is the moral law of the kingdom of Christ, or in other words it occupies in the New Testament the place which in the Old Testament is occupied by the Ten Commandments.”

“…an external written commandment (that is, the letter) is capable of informing our consciences, of telling us what God's will is, of bowing us down to the dust with a sense of our inability to fulfil it; but it is not capable of going further.”

“The law was given that men might seek grace; grace was given that the law might be fulfilled.”—St. Augustine

“…the Sermon on the Mount… is the climax of law, the completeness of the letter, the letter which killeth; and because it is so much more searching and thorough than the Ten Commandments, therefore does it kill all the more effectually.”
