Lloyd-Jones continues: “The Sermon on the Mount, in other words, comes to us and says, ‘There is the mountain that you have to scale, the heights you have to climb, and the first thing you must realize, as you look at that mountain which you are told you must ascend, is that you cannot do it, that you are utterly incapable in and of yourself, and that any attempt to do it in your own strength is proof positive that you have not understood it.”5
