For the next 100 days, Daniel Triestman and I will be
writing a very short devotional (about 100 words) each day on our Lord Jesus’
Sermon on the Mount. We will post it on our blog eachdayintheword.blogspot.com.
We invite comments.
Matthew’s narrative of the sermon concludes, “And when Jesus
had finished these sayings, the crowds were astonished at His teaching.” I have
written in the margin of my Bible, “me too!” The soldiers who were sent to arrest Jesus
couldn’t do their job because, as they said, “No one ever spoke like this man.”
I wrote a series of blogs on misterrodgerssbl.blogspot.com entitled,
“Why I am not an atheist.” Each blog was a telling of a struggle I had worked
through regarding my Christian Faith. But in truth, the real reason I am not an
atheist is because of the words of the Lord Jesus. For who, but Diety, could
say what He said?
