Jesus Rules!

One thing, I hope, is clear: this Sermon is amazing, but it demands doing. Matthew highlights that here at the end by telling us not only that the Sermon was astonishing to its first audience, but that it is authoritative because it was preached by an authoritative preacher. That’s right: Jesus was an authoritative preacher. That means that you need to listen to Him and obey Him. Don’t just be astonished; start obeying.
