Studies in the Sermon on the Mount. E-book. Formato PDF Oswald Chambers   -  Forgotten Books, 2017  - 

N order to understand the Sermon on the Mount, it lis necessary to have the mind of the Preacher, and this knowledge can be gained by anyone who will receive the Holy Spirit (see Luke XI. 13, John XX. 22, Acts XIX. The Holy Ghost is the only expounder of the teachings of Jesus. The one abiding method of interpretation of the teachings of Jesus is the Spirit of Jesus in the heart of a believer applying His principles to the particular circum~ stances in which he is placed. Be renewed in the spirit of your mind, says Paul, that you may make out what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. Beware of placing Our Lord as Teacher first instead of as Saviour. That tendency is prevalent to-day, and it is a' dangerous tendency. We must know Him first as Saviour before His teaching has any meaning for us, or before it has any meaning other than that of an ideal which leads to despair. Fancy coming to men and women with defective lives and defiled hearts and wrong main springs, and telling them to be pure in heart! What is the use of giving us an ideal we cannot possibly attain? We are happier without knowing it. If Jesus is only a Teacher, then all He can do is to tantalise us by erecting a standard we cannot come anywhere near. But if we know Him first as Saviour, by being born again from above, we know that He did not come to teach us only He came to make us what He teaches we should be. The Sermon on the Mount is a statement of the life we will live when the Holy Spirit is having His way with us.

Queste meditazioni giornaliere sono state scelte e tratte da varie fonti della grande attività di predicatore e leader cristiano di Oswald Chambers (1874-1917). Queste meditazioni hanno segnato indelebilmente la spiritualità cristiana del ‘900. Chambers morì in Egitto all’età di quarantatrè anni mentre era impegnato in un’opera pastorale tra le truppe inglesi. Precedentemente si era distinto all’interno della League of Prayers per la sua visione profetica che univa un grande amore per l’Evangelo con una sensibilità alla crisi del mondo moderno. Il volume è corredato dalla 'Introduzione e la storia del testo', scritta da Biddy Chambers e da una 'Nota biografica' sulla vita dell'autore.
