Did Jesus Forget To Preach The Christian Gospel At The Sermon On The Mount?
Filed in Category - Gospel Sermons
What an excellent question!!!
I spend hours ad nauseum trying to show fellow Christians that what Jesus taught is not the same thing that Paul taught. The think every time the word “gospel” shows up that it’s talking about the same message, and it’s not!
There are 4 gospels in the New Testament.
1. Gospel of the Kingdom – preparing people for the literal physical kingdom
2. Gospel of the Grace of God – Salvation by grace through faith in the church age, revealed to Paul
3. Everlasting Gospel – Rev. 14:6 taught in the Tribulation and throughout the millennial reign of Christ
4. False Gospels – Gal. 1:6-9; 2 Cor. 11:3-4
Jesus is preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven – that is, the literal physical kingdom is at hand.
It’s helpful to understand Matt. – Acts 7 and then Hebrews – Revelation all as one period before the kingdom. Therefore it is all spoken of as if it is the same without the 2k year interruption of the church. These periods are simply warning/proclaiming about the imminent coming kingdom.
The church era doctrine was revealed to Paul, and it’s very different as far as appropriation and application. We live under the time period where Paul’s revelation from Christ is what is most applicable to us right now.
The Sermon on the Mount is actually the constitution for the millennium, not a discourse on Christian doctrine.
You were observant to notice the difference. I wish more Christians would read and study as observantly.
Mixing up and confusing the different kingdoms is what Caused the Catholic church to thing the kingdom was literal (dark ages, inquisitions, wars), when it wasn’t, and on the opposite polarity, many modern Christians think the kingdoms are the same but all spiritual. Both views are wrong. There are two kingdoms – a spiritual kingdom (NOW), and a literal kingdom (future).
It’s difficult to discuss such a thing without leaving out key details in such a short time. Please take that into consideration as you consider this answer.

No. But many are blind to what Jesus was saying there. Consider first the audience and what their beliefs were. Then consider what Jesus said to them.
Because if you get legalism from the Sermon on the Mount, you have taken away the need or accomplishment of Christ’s death, burial and resurrection.
And you have denied the Gospel.
Well, He was preaching to Jews- not Christians. Most people, even Christians, do not understand that.
Jesus never preached to Christians.
Christianity wasn’t around back then so no to the Christian gospel part.
he did after he meat the samaritan woman at the well.
There was no Christian gospel in Jesus’ lifetime. He was Jewish.
No. He raised the bar on the 10 commandments to show us our desperate need for a savior.
What are you even talking about?
Best regards.
If the Lord Jesus Christ preached it, it is part of the Christian gospel.
He was preaching to all their even to us, did he not say Blessed are they that believe?
Nope.
No.
