I have been preaching through the Sermon on the Mount, and one thing we have discovered is that Jesus laid down some very high expectations for his disciples in that message. “Except your righteousness exceeds that of the Scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.” “He who is angry with his brother may be in danger of hell fire.” “Do not judge others.” “Do not worry about anything.” “Do unto others what you would have them do unto you.” Those paraphrases of just a few of the expectations of Jesus point out how high and daunting is this expectation of discipleship. Moses’ words from his mountain are not any more difficult than Jesus’ words from his mountain. So, what do we do with that? What’s a Christian to do?
