If we aren't careful, we will read through Matthew 5-7 (the Sermon on the Mount) and come to the erroneous conclusion that Jesus is simply calling us to be good people. All He is saying is that we should try really hard to get rid of bad habits and replace them with good ones.That conclusion would be dead wrong.
All that Jesus has said about anger, adultery, anxiety, prayer and fasting and everything else climaxes with Jesus' final point as He brings His sermon to an end. His final words contain what I believe are some of the most, if not THE most, frightening words ever spoken in Scripture. In saying those words, Jesus brings His hearers to a point of decision and calls for us to choose to follow Him.
