Synopsis: Commentator Karoline Lewis states; “It’s one thing to know and to claim your identity. It is another thing entirely to live it.” Jesus is actively teaching the disciples throughout this three-year time and the Sermon on the Mount is one of those major teaching moments. Jesus is explaining here that our faith must be more than just a verbal commitment, more than just a collection of knowledge; but shared and that requires both word and action.
