It is the greatest sermon ever preached by the greatest
preacher who ever lived. All the armies who ever marched, all the navies who
ever sailed, all the parliaments who ever sat, and all the kings who ever
reigned have not affected the life of mankind like this one solitary life. This
Jesus of Nazareth, one day sat down and delivered one of the finest speeches in
history which is known today as the Sermon on the Mount. I had the privilege to
memorize this sermon (Matthew 5, 6, 7) and recite/deliver it at my church (I
used to attend). After the delivery my pastor gave me big hug and told me that
he has been pasturing for 40 years and had never seen that performed in his
life. Bobby Schuller’s Happiness
According to Jesus, is an exposition of Jesus’ masterful sermon. Dallas
Willard has summarized the theme of the sermon as “It is God’s plan to overcome
evil with good in human history and to use each one of us to do it.” In short,
the sermon is a counterintuitive, countercultural manifesto of the kingdom of
God. There are eighteen chapters in this book and Schuller seasons each chapter
with explanation and anecdotes to get the message across.
