You Are...So Be
In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus wants us to see that being a disciple and acting as a disciple are intimately connected. When God called us to faith, he declared that we were something new: light, salt, his children. Jesus now encourages us to be what God says we are, so that God might bless the world through us. As Jesus speaks to us, he means to mold our will to his own.

Jesus taught us what it meant to be his followers. He did it in the most famous sermon of all time. It was not delivered while standing in a pulpit but while sitting on a hill. Elevated above the crowd, Jesus’ voice carried through the air. His followers hung on his every word as the Christ talked about living an authentic Christian life. It is called the Sermon on the Mount.
