“You cannot serve God and wealth.”

Maybe we should have known words such as these were coming.

After all, many find the teachings in the Sermon on the Mount difficult or challenging—so, we might have expected these words that are, well, difficult and challenging.

But this Sermon begins with Jesus talking about blessing—about happiness—even in the hard times of life. He tells us that we are the salt of the earth. We are the light of the world. All that sounds pretty good.

Maybe we let our guard down.

We should have known words such as these were coming.

After all, we’ve listened enough to Jesus and sometimes it seems that he talks about money and possessions almost as much as he talks about God.

As we look for the good news in the Sermon on the Mount this morning, we’re faced with a choice; we’re called to a decision.
