I found the Sermon on the Mount to be quite interesting to read‚ partly because I have yet to read this until now‚ and partly because certain aspects of what Matthew was saying struck a chord with me.

I too believe in the same thing in the way that if you have an idea or talent that could contribute to the advancement of society‚ no matter how major or minor it is‚ it should

Jesus refocuses our attention. It’s about putting God on the throne‚ admiting his rule and authority. The model prayer has three emphasis according to Myron S.
