Summary

The story of the Bible is a story of mountains. From the Garden-temple of Eden to Ararat, Horeb, Sinai, and Zion—mountains play an important role in the story of the Bible. Time and time again, God chooses mountains as the place of special communion with his people. In this episode, Michael Horton, Walter Strickland, Bob Hiller, and Justin Holcomb survey the biblical mounts and consider the unique role that Christ’s Sermon on the Mount plays in the biblical story.

0:00.0	He is blessing them.
0:05.0	This is an objective blessing from the king of the kingdom.
0:10.3	This is akin to the absolution, you know, I forgive your sins in the name of Christ for his sake.
0:18.0	This is blessed are. Jesus is not saying your situation is blessed. You are a really kind of blessed person
0:27.8	because you're victorious and you've survived a lot of trouble. He's saying, blessed are the people who are shut out of the
0:38.2	world's splendor because they belong to me. The two that I were describing go together is it really the if then if you do the imperative then you get the blessing and so this is how you get in and once you get in this is what you get for it. This is the reward and you really, I mean this is the point you're making, you really have to distort the actual sentence structure and what Jesus is doing to say he's starting out every sentence is,
1:01.4	Blessed be those who can't do something for them first right
1:05.2	blessing is first to the people who can't earn deserve or even really advocate for
1:09.6	themselves and this is first in the sermon on the Reformation to the modern church. This is Whitehorse Sin,
1:30.9	a weekly roundtable discussion about theology and culture. Life under the reign of Christ tends to turn the way we view the world on its head.
1:50.0	St Paul in writing to the Corinthians says it this way,
1:53.0	God calls the foolish things of the world

2:00.7	Not many were powerful.
2:02.0	Not many were of noble birth. But God shows what is foolish in the world to shame the wise. God shows what is weak in the world to shame the strong. God shows what is low and despised in the world, even the things that are not to bring to nothing, things that are,
2:16.0	so that no human being may boast in the presence of God.
2:19.6	When it comes to our salvation, another way of saying this would be
2:22.4	that on account of the dying and
2:23.4	rising of Christ Jesus God saved you by his grace apart from anything in you which is
