Reading (Maryknoll: Orbis Books, 2000), and What Are They
Saying About Matthew’s Sermon on the Mount? (Mahwah:
Paulist, 1994).
Following Jesus:
Matthew’s Sermon on the Mount
Jesus’ teaching in the Sermon on the
Mount appears after Jesus has called
his first disciples. These difficult
words shape a life of discipleship that
is frequently at odds with the values
and practices of Roman imperial
society. Jesus invites his followers
to a way of life centered on and
expressive of God’s purposes to bless
all people
• Mountain Climbing: (The
Contexts for Matthew’s
Sermon on the Mount)
• Visions of an Alternative Way
of Being (5:3-16)
• Embodying God’s Purposes:
Three Acts of Justice (6:1-18)
• The Rains Came Down and
the Floods Came Up: Hearing
These Words and Doing Them?

Jesus Proclaims the Kingdom of God
The Kingdom is Proclaimed through Miracles
Jesus came to proclaim the Kingdom of God by demonstrating the power
of God over the works of darkness. The miracles are not just the actions
of a Superman. They are the revelations of God in human form.
The Kingdom is Proclaimed through Parables
Jesus came to proclaim the Kingdom of God by telling stories. Just as
he opened the eyes of the blind to see, he opens the heart to understand.

Matthew the Book of Mercy
Matthew’s Jesus is God’s justice done mercifully and imitating God in
Jesus in Matthew’s community is how the kingdom comes. They were
rejected and turning from the Jewish community because of believing
in Jesus and refusing to fight with them to protect the temple. They
were persecuted by the Romans mercilessly and they were fighting
among themselves about what it means to be not a Jewish Christian, but
Christians universally. The glue that was to hold the community together
in the midst of all this, and to make them graceful and true was the
mystery of forgiveness, reconciliation, restitution and at-one-ment that led
them ever more truly into the mercy and justice of God in Jesus. We will
look at how to follow in this Jesus’ footsteps today in community.
• Joseph the Catechumen and New Believer in Matthew’s Community
• The Mystery of Forgiveness
• The Parables as Doorways into Forgiveness, Reconciliation and
At-One-Ment
• The Person of Jesus in Matthew, from His Names and His Revelation
