The Sermon on the Mount: The Key to Success in Life - A Practical Approach to Jesus's Teachings, Personal Transformation, and the Power of Positive Thinking in the Sermon on the Mount

by Emmet Fox

plain fact is that Jesus taught no theology whatever. His teaching is entirely spiritual or metaphysical.

Enough prayer will get you out of your difficulty if only you will be persistent enough in your appeal to God.

Either Jesus is to be taken seriously, or he is not to be taken seriously, in which case his teaching should be dropped altogether and people should cease to call themselves Christians.

First, of all, the word “earth” in the Bible does not mean merely this terrestrial globe. It really means manifestation. Manifestation or expression is the result of a cause. A cause has to be expressed or manifested before we can know anything about it; and, contrariwise, every expression or manifestation has to have a cause.
