The first question we can ask is: Who was Jesus addressing with these words? The Sermon on the Mount is one of Jesus’ most well-known talks. In it, He explained His mission and proclaimed the foundation of the entire church for as long as it had existed. The fact that He was pointing to something already existing, and not making up anything new, becomes clear with His words, Matthew 5, 17I did not come to destroy but to fulfill.

The Sermon on the Mount reveals the foundation of God’s kingdom for all time—since ancient times through today, right until the end, and throughout all eternity.

Jesus gave this sermon, first and foremost, for His disciples. This may seem strange to us because we read that “seeing the multitudes, He went up on a mountain.” His disciples were not the multitudes. The multitudes consisted of many different people, and a lot of them just wanted to hear Him because they were curious. But the disciples were the object of Jesus’ special training.
