This is the sixth book in the Albert Leckie series.

The sermon on the mount is so called because Matthew says of the Lord, ‘he went up into a mountain’, 5. 1. Whilst this may be its geographical setting, its spiritual setting is the kingdom in anticipation. It will, in a very real way, be the heart cry of the faithful, godly Jew during the coming tribulation.

However, while this is the true setting of the sermon on the mount, it is quite wrong to dismiss it as Jewish and thus irrelevant to today. The language employed, the promise given, and the people addressed may differ, but the principles of God’s kingdom never change and it is these abiding principles that are dealt with in this book.
