Excerpt from The Sermon on the Mount: A Practical Exposition, of St. Matthew V. Vi; 8. (Including the Beatitudes)
It was therefore the fulness of time, when He must consolidate the preparatory work He had been engaged in. He must dig deep and lay well the foundations of the kingdom He had come from heaven to establish Therefore He gave to man, at the crisis of His ministry, and of the world's history, this perfect example of constructive legisla tion. It contained the basal principles and morals of the new Church. It was the proclamation of the kingdom by the King Himself, and it was the Magna Charta of the Christian's faith.
The leading features of this unique utterance are worthy of being carefully studied. They emphasise its essential greatness, and help us to appreciate its lofty position as a manifesto of a new régime and dispensation.
