Summary

Sermon on the Mount E36 – In the second part of the final section of the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus emphasizes the tension present in the choice between two paths. How do we know if someone is leading us toward the path to life, and whose voice should we listen to? Jesus uses the images of a sheep in wolf’s clothing and trees bearing fruit to emphasize the wisdom needed to identify those who truly represent him. In this episode, Tim and Jon wrestle with the challenge of discerning God's words and recognizing the true destination of someone's path, regardless of the direction they claim.

0:00.0	This is a Bible Project podcast and this year we've been reading through The
0:08.5	Sermon on the Mount. I'm John Collins and with me is co-host Michelle
0:11.6	Hi Michelle. Hi John, the sermon on the Mount
0:14.2	is a manifesto about how to live in the way of Jesus.
0:18.7	We are in the conclusion of the sermon on the mount
0:21.1	where Jesus calls us to take everything to heart and to
0:24.7	make the choice that leads to life. Now there are three final images that Jesus
0:29.9	gives us that all represent this choice. The first, which we looked at last week, is about two

0:45.8	is pretty similar.
0:47.0	There are two types of houses you can build,
0:49.3	a house on the sand that's going to wash away in the flood,
0:52.0	or a house on the rock that will stand.
0:55.0	But today is the teaching right in the middle of those two teachings.
0:59.0	It isn't about which path you take or about which house you build. It's about the people who will try to get you off the
1:06.8	path or out of the house. This teaching is about wolves in sheep's clothing, bad apples, false teachers.
1:14.8	So pay attention to who you listen to you because not everybody who says they represent
1:18.6	Jesus represents Jesus.
1:20.6	As we're going to see, this is a problem with deep roots in the story of Israel.
1:24.0	We'll pick up today's conversation with a reading of this teaching found in Matthew 7, 15 to 23.
