Quotes from my friends - Thanks
1- "I believe many of the people today, and back then, are in the crowd because they perceived that if they followed Jesus, they would be instantly blessed. Maybe he would give them wealth, health and prosperity, here and now — most importantly, now." caught-thinking
2- "Jesus, knowing exactly what He was after, decided to separate the courageous from the cowardly, the followers from the faithful, the charismatic from the committed, and he did it with simplicity and absolute resolve."

3-"The trap of the crowd says, prosperity now, healing now, glory now, power, position and possessions now! Christ calls us to the hillside"
4-Jesus was blasting the religious leaders of his day in this sermon. Don’t be arrogant! Don’t be proud! Don’t be an elitist! Be real! Be humble! Be gentle! Be righteous! Be peaceful! Be hungry for God! It is a message that we all desperately need today!
