Living Like A King (2)
Matthew 5:1-12
Jerry Vines
We are considering together the greatest sermon ever preached by the greatest preacher who ever lived. I refer, of course to the Sermon on the Mount and I'm referring to the Lord Jesus Christ.
Now, Jesus had an advantage over preachers such as myself because Jesus was the Son of God. I am a Son of God. Jesus was come down from heaven. I have received Jesus as my Savior, I'm going up to heaven. Jesus never had to study to find, to look or to search for a text of Scripture.

I started in the book of Genesis, looking for a verse where I could get at least one sermon. I started flipping. I flipped all the way through Genesis. I didn't find one. I flipped all the way through Exodus. I went all the way through the historical books, all the way through Psalms. I flipped all the way through the prophets. I came to the New Testament. I st ...
