The Sermon on the Mount is the most complete delineation anywhere in the New Testament of the Christian counter-culture. Here is a Christian value-system, ethical standard, religious devotion, attitude to money, ambition, lifestyle, and network of relationships—all of which are totally at variance with those in the non-Christian world.
And this Christian counter-culture is the life of the kingdom of God, a fully human life indeed but lived out under the divine rule."
