Sermon on the Mount: Kingdom Citizens Speak Truthfully and Act Graciously
Jesus teaches us as citizens of God’s kingdom, everything we say should be true and good, because God witnesses everything we say and do. As citizens of God’s kingdom, we reflect the character of our King in the way we treat others. We look to the cross as we see how our King did not respond in violent aggression but laid down his life graciously to save us (enemies of God) so that we can be children of God.
