Sermon on the Mount E2 – As a Jewish rabbi, Jesus was immersed in the Hebrew Bible, or what Christians often call the Old Testament. The Hebrew Bible tells the story of God working with ancient Israel to bring about his Kingdom. And in the New Testament, Jesus claimed that God’s Kingdom was at long last arriving in him. In this episode, Tim and Jon walk through the three parts of the Hebrew Bible, showing how they connect to what Jesus teaches in the Sermon on the Mount. Plus, Michelle, Dan, and Aaron go on a field trip to look at a Torah scroll to better understand how the Hebrew Bible is designed.View more resources on our website →Timestamps Chapter 1: Repentance in the Sermon on the Mount (00:00-12:35)Chapter 2: Exploring a Hebrew Bible Scroll (12:35-17:57)Chapter 3: How Jesus Interprets the Torah (17:57-25:00)Chapter 4: The Hebrew Bible’s Differing Book Order—Including the Prophets (25:00-27:38)Chapter 5: The Sermon on the Mount as the Fulfillment of Prophetic Hope (27:38-35:21)Chapter 6: The Last Book of the Hebrew Bible and the Writings (Ketuvim) (35:21-37:22)Chapter 7: The Sermon on the Mount as Wisdom Literature (37:22-40:43)Chapter 8: How the Hebrew Bible’s Structure Provides Context for the Sermon on the Mount (40:43-43:54)Referenced ResourcesSermon on the Mount: A Beginner's Guide to the Kingdom by Amy Jill LevineInterested in more?
