Introduction to the Sermon on the Mount
In the Old Testament, the Nation of Israel was intended to be God's Counterculture in the World. The Nation refused to life up to God's expectations. In the New Testament, the Church/Christians are to be God's Counterculture. God expects us to be distinct and different from the evil world around us. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus explains the principles by which we are to live.
