For much of my life, I had difficulty understanding what Jesus meant when He delivered the Sermon on the Mount. Through my blog, I decided to embark on a detailed study of this essential sermon. The goal was to better understand the subtlety behind His words so that I could better apply these principles in my life. This is a chronicle of the things I learned, and the insights into the sermon in ways that I found unexpected as my study took me deeper into the Jewish roots of Jesus' teachings. From there, it was not long before I found myself at the foot of the Cross, submitting to the Jewish Messiah, and beginning a much richer journey. Allow me to share this journey, and its insights, with you.
