This is the second part of our study of the Sermon on the Mount, one of the most famous and important teaching of Jesus. The Sermon on the Mount is a compiled collection of teachings of Jesus, illustrating the principles of the Kingdom of God. Under the Law, Judaism had slowly devolved into an impersonal, wooden set of rules and observances. And while the Law was useful in revealing what was important to God, it was powerless to mend our sin nature so that our hearts could be changed. Jesus was bringing a new and different kingdom to earth- the Kingdom of God, and the Sermon on the Mount was the foundation for the new kingdom.

When Mary came to Jesus’ tomb early in the morning, she knew immediately that something was wrong. Someone had moved the stone that blocked the entrance to Jesus’ tomb. The strips of linen that were wrapped around Jesus’ body were lying where Jesus’ body laid. The burial cloth that covered Jesus’ face was there too, lying to one side. But Jesus’ body was gone. The tomb was empty.

For the last 3 months we’ve been walking with Jesus through many of the significant events of his life and ministry. Jesus now has 5 days to live, yet there is an incredible number of events that take place within those 5 days. Because we don’t have the time to focus on each one of them individually, let’s look at 4 events of Jesus’ last week on earth that seem to capture his mission, his heart, and his love for His Father and for us.
