Jesus seems to be setting the stakes pretty high in the Sermon on the Mount, but how about we hear it as a vision of what could be possible … what is possible when God reigns. Jesus shows us the potential of God’s Kingdom, God’s rule among us.
Jesus called us tasty, flavorful, and bright. Well, If Jesus says that, I am not going to argue about that ;-). Who we are as Christ Followers, and how we can bring flavor and light into the world, this is what today’s sermon about.
Come and See! Jesus is inviting us into a close and intimate relationship with him, to experience him as the light of the world, the love of God, and the healing of our broken relationship to God.
