It is known by millions as the Sermon on the Mount but in a very real way, it is the Sermon on the Kingdom.Jesus gave the message from the mount, but the topic of the sermon is the Kingdom life. He speaks of the Kingdom in the very first verse. He is talking about the Kingdom in the last paragraphs. And in between he talks of it at crucial points throughout the message. For many this sermon is foolish, unreasonable, idealistic, and impractical, but that is because it is describing the life of these "aliens and strangers" from the future. These are Kingdom people who are living right now as though they were already in heaven--or at least as though they are taking all their direction from heaven. They understand that their citizenship is really there.
