The Words of the Sermon on the Mount

In the sermon on the Mount, Jesus says everyone who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man. And so Saint Augustine, Saint Thomas Aquinas explained that the sermon is the perfect sermon because it sums up the Christian life beautifully. But what's important is Jesus isn't here identifying himself as the new Solomon, but believers. We can in a sense be taken up into his ministry by ordering our lives appropriately.
