Studies in the Sermon on the Mount [Paperback]

David Martyn Lloyd-Jones (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 1984

The Sermon on the Mount is not a code of ethics or of morals; it is a description of what Christians are meant to be. In Studies in the Sermon on the Mount, D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones offers a comprehensive exposition of one of the best known but often misunderstood passages in the Bible. With characteristic wisdom, he keeps one eye on Scripture and the other on the world as he explains Christs teaching to modern-day believers.

What a book! Pick up your Bible and read Matthew chapters 5 through 7, then pick up this book and let God change your life! After reading this book if your life is not changed, you are not listening to that Still Small Voice; you are not hearing the Quiet Knocking on your life's door! Lloyd-Jones fully explains in simple yet complete detail the Beattitudes in particular, and the full body of Jesus' sermon in general (as he does in all his books compiled so far). Read this book, and your spirit will become poor; you will mourn sin, and will feel comfort; you will know how to be meek; you will hunger and thirst for righteousness, and know how to be filled with more; you will know how and why to be merciful, and mercy will come your way; your heart will be purified, and you will see God working in the here and now; you will understand how to make peace; and, because you're "doing the righteousness," persecution WILL come your way!

Read this book, and you just might begin living the life you were called to live when you first became a Christian!

If you want to understand the Sermon on the Mount this is the book to read. D. Martin Lloyd-Jones has a masterful command of the scriptures and will keep you turning pages well into the night. I cannot imagine a better treatment of Jesus's most famous sermon.

5.0 out of 5 stars Take the Sermon on the Mount to a new level, June 18, 1999

This review is from: Studies in the Sermon on the Mount (Paperback)

I was first introduced to this book by Bible teacher John MacArthur. He considered D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones as the author that has most influenced his life. After reading SSM I agree with MacArthur -- this is one of the most gifted and Spirit-led authors of the 21st century. This book will help you see the depth of the Beatitudes and much, much more. There are few more powerful Christian books than this one.
