The Sermon on the Mount

Description

The Sermon on the Mount

“Long for the living God. Be a lover of God and all mankind.” — John Wesley

After his heart-warming experience on Aldersgate Street in London, John Wesley loved to preach and teach about Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount. He took this sermon very seriously and devoted his life to following its precepts, which he explains very clearly in this classic work.

Wesley’s desire was to present “plain truth to plain people.” Editor Clare Weakley has endeavored to help him with this by updating the original eighteenth-century language in an effort to make this book more palatable and user-friendly for today’s reader.

Above all else, Wesley wanted his congregations and readers to enter into the “more-abundant life” that Jesus came to give us, and to lead us, as children of God, into the very life of Christ itself. The content of this book is far-reaching and includes:

• Being Blessed
• Inheriting the Earth
• Fulfilling the Law
• Fasting for Grace
• Receiving God’s Gifts

As you read The Sermon on the Mount, you will see that the Beatitudes are the attitudes we are to be and have as believers. Wesley writes,

“Long for the living God. Long to wake up in His likeness and be satisfied with it. Be a lover of God and all mankind.” This book will show you how.
