How do we interpret the Sermon on the Mount? Is it a set of moral standards for the Jews, for Christians? What about grace, faith, belief in Jesus? Does following the Sermon the Mount impute righteousness to us? Is it an intensification or radicalization of the OT Law? Is it the Law for the 1000 Year millennial reign of Jesus on earth? Ethical guidelines for life in the Kingdom. Kingdom is mentioned in 5:3, 10; 19, 20; 6:10, 33; 7:21. What is the relationship between the Sermon and OT Law? To what extent and in what ways is the ethical teaching of the OT still important today? How “new” is the teaching of Jesus? Do we retain only the parts of the OT to which Jesus refers and ignore or reject the rest? Law of Moses versus Law of Christ?
