The Beatitudes: Sermon on the Mount with Sinclair Ferguson

Summary

This sermon explains that humanity's core problems are guilt and bondage, which Jesus addresses starting from his baptism in the symbolic waters of sin and his temptation in the wilderness, as recounted in Matthew's gospel. Through his death and resurrection, Jesus overcomes Satan and the power of sin, offering reconciliation with God and freedom from bondage. The practical takeaway is that Jesus's work on the cross provides a way to deal with our guilt and enemy, ushering in the new powers of God's kingdom.
