Sermons On The Mount eBook

Come with the author to that place just outside of Capernaum, to once again hear, with renewed interest, the words that Jesus brought to a people who were so keenly aware of their shortcomings. Those who were ever mindful that God had promised them a Messiah, a redeemer-kinsman, one who had the power to heal and forgive sins. Jesus, the man from Galilee, a simple carpenter who came to die, to ransom repentant souls, and to rise again overcoming the power of the grave and the hold that dead had over us. Jesus the Son of God who came to "take away the sins of the world."
