Jesus and the sermon on the mount - in modern language:

Matthew 5-7 (The Message)

When Jesus concluded his address, the crowd burst into applause. They had never heard teaching like this.

Ok, if that was the reaction 2000 years ago when people heard it for the first time, how come we don’t react that way today? Why don’t I react that way? Has the truth of what was communicated changed? Have our needs changed? So, what has changed? Why is my Bible sitting on a shelf collecting dust while I channel surf and look for something to entertain me? What am I looking for? What am I hungry for?
