Thought Of The Day  

1   And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:      2   And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,     3   Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. ~ MATTHEW 5:1-3

This is perhaps Jesus’ greatest sermon, the Sermon on the Mount. I was wondering about how Jesus shared the Word. This is not criticizing anyone because every true minister is inspired by the Holy Ghost, and certainly the prophet was very active in his preaching, but I don’t see Jesus waving His arms and screaming. Most of His sermons begin with Him sitting while the others are standing. I don’t see anywhere in the Word where Jesus said, “Can I hear an amen?” or “Somebody help me preach!” He would just speak and people were astonished by His doctrine (Matt 7:28). The Hebrew equivalent to the word “astonished” is as if a wind has blown over a dry land. The Words Jesus speaks contain Life and will bring an “awe” regardless of the method of delivery.
