Week 03 - The Principles of the Yoke

Many historical and research document start some sort of introduction to the rest of the paper. with These introductions are usually succinct, but powerful and overarching, explanations of a broad concept that will be explained in detail later on.

These introductions set the expectation for the audience and give them a preview of the content. The Sermon on the Mount is no different. Jesus starts this sermon with a poem we call the Beatitudes that sets the stage for a transformational way of looking at life.

South Saskatchewan River valley

Context matters. So, before you can jump into and study each verse, one needs a 20,000 foot overview of the entire sermon. I used the Book Survey Bible Study Method to try and get a good idea how the sermon is structured as a whole.
