As I read Dr. Kendall on the Beatitudes from the Sermon on the Mount, I felt at times as if I were actually thereon that hill, sitting with the othersas the young teacher was speaking the most radical words our world has ever known.

Rob Parsons, founder and chairman, Care for the Family; author, Bringing Home the Prodigals

R. T. Kendalls head, heart and hands are found woven through these pages, giving this volume credibility. The reader sees his amazing intellect and insight and feels his passionate heart. Those of us who have known and loved him through the years know also that these expositions from the Sermon on the Mount have actually been beaten out of the anvil of R. T.s personal experience. These volumes will continue to bless generations to come long after those of us today are in the presence of Him who first preached this sermon.

O. S. Hawkins, senior pastor, First Baptist Church, Dallas, Texas

Once again R. T. Kendall has hit a home run with his monumental and magisterial work on the Sermon on the Mount. No stone is left unturned and no passages left without full comments and elucidation. Any pastor, student, teacher or Christian who studies the Sermon on the Mount would greatly benefit by utilizing this significant work.

Dr. Phil Roberts, president, Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, Kansas City, Missouri

I had the privilege of being present while these sermons were preached. They appear as fresh and relevant today as they did thenfull of theological insight, practical applications and Gods heart for His children.

Paul Gardiner, solicitor, London, England; deacon, Westminster Chapel

Brilliant! Life as it is meant to be lived.

Foreword

In 2010, the world watched for a day and a half as 33 Chilean miners were brought to the surface of the earth having spent 69 days nearly one-half mile underground. The progress was accompanied by mini-biographies of each one and video of loved ones waiting topside to be reunited with these brave men. The buried men lived the first 17 days of their entombment ignorant of the fact that those charged with finding survivors did not know whether they were alive or dead under the 700 million tons of rock that had shifted.

Finally, the last man was lifted from the depths of the earth, and they had all been rescued! Each had been delivered from certain death and given a new chance at life.

The Bible uses the metaphor of rescue to depict how God has delivered His children from death to life. In Colossians 1:1314, the apostle Paul writes, He has rescued us from the domain of darkness and transferred us into the Kingdom of the Son He loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins ( hcsb ). Two kingdoms are positioned against each other, with our eternal well-being hanging in the balance. We are born into the domain of darknessseparated from God. We are dead in the heart of the earth, as it were. But then God involved Himself and rescued us from death and transferred us to a new Kingdom. The word used for transferred is from methistemi, which originally meant deportation of a group of men or the removal of a group to form a colony. Paul indicates that we have been transferred into the Kingdom of Gods Son, our Savior, Jesus Christ.

But too many followers of Christ seem to have lost the dynamic that we have been transferred into the living Kingdom ruled by the King of kings. This is in spite of Jesus own ministry, which began with an emphasis on the Kingdom. After John was arrested, Jesus went to Galilee, preaching the good news of God: The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe in the good news! (Mark 1:1415, hcsb ). Jesus public teaching was filled with references to Gods Kingdom, a Kingdom that, according to His own words, had come near. He said His ability to cast out demons was proof the Kingdom of God had come to His listeners (Matthew 12:28). He made the Kingdom the theme of His preaching both before His death (Luke 4:43) and after His resurrection (Acts 1:3), the focus of numerous parables (Mark 4:26, 30; Luke 8:10; 13:1821), and commended it as the priority of our own lives (Matthew 6:33; Luke 12:31). Without doubt, the Kingdom was an important subject to the King.
