Thoughts on the Sermon on the Mount

The Sermon on the Mount judges us all, for it shows
us our evil fruits by which the evil tree is recognized.
The good fruit of the deed and the new love for all
that flows from the heart is what marks the new life
spoken of in the Sermon on the Mount. Where these
words of Jesus become life and action, there is God’s
firm build ing, which cannot be overthrown even in
the final catastrophe. Where his words do not become
action, the only thing that can be expected is a heap of
rubble – which is what human deeds truly are.
