Christian Counter-culture
== History ==
== History ==
The Sermon on the Mount was delivered during the early days of the Christ's ministry. After being baptized by [[John the Baptist]], Jesus took to preaching in the streets of Galilee. Soon large crowds gathered, eager to hear his teachings. One day, after looking out at the multitudes that had gathered, Jesus goes up into the mountains where he is followed by his disciples. There, surrounded by his disciples, Jesus delivers his sermon.

== Christian Counter-culture ==
The Sermon on the Mount is the most complete delineation anywhere in the New Testament of the [[Christian]] counter-culture. There is a Christian value-system, [[ethic]]al 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. The followers of [[Jesus]] are different from both the nominal church and the [[secular]] world, different from both the religious and the irreligious.<ref name="Stott1985">{{cite book |title=The Message of the Sermon on the Mount |author=John R.W.
