Devout life5/24/2023 The Sermon on the Mount must be read in the transfiguring light which shines backwards from the later events in our Lord's life. We must be reconciled before we can become obedient children we must be filled with the Spirit before "the fragrance of Christ" can be manifested through us in every place. Of course, the right kind of obedience is impossible, apart from the Cross and the Spirit. We have no right to be content with saying "Lord, Lord " we must do the things which He says. We can never allow the great objective facts of Christianity, and their attendant doctrines, to sink low on our horizon but we must give equal prominence to the demands of Christ for a righteousness which shall exceed that of the Scribes and Pharisees, and a perfection which shall resemble that of God. LibriVox recording of The Directory of the Devout Life by Frederick Brotherton Meyer.
