In The Sermon on the Mount, Jesus is showing us what the kingdom looks like. This kingdom derives from a dream – a plan that God had since before the foundation of the world.

You might say that a dream is being realized. The kingdom of God is at hand.

Jesus is clear on who the kingdom is made up of.

It’s not made up of people who have pushed the envelope and made themselves righteous. There’s no real room in the kingdom for the self-righteous.

It’s not made up of people don’t care and adopt lawlessness.

Those in the kingdom are those who have a keen sense of right and wrong – a keen sense of light and darkness. And they are disturbed when they see darkness in themselves. They know they cannot personally rid themselves of guilt and shame, but they trust that Christ has done so.

And, in humility, they receive his forgiveness – his righteousness – as their own.
