Jesus was an amazing preacher. He had to have been. We are still talking about what he said some 2000 years later. His Sermon on the Mount was a work of brilliance: a mark all preachers try and fail to hit. Yet Jesus did not preach simply to hear himself talk or give us something to ponder. He was not just a dispenser of wisdom. Jesus’s preaching is intended to demand action from us. We can’t be content to simply sit in the pews week after week, month after month, listening. We must respond to the words of Jesus in a very real way. As we read this Gospel let us pray for the wisdom to discern that response.
