In the Sermon on the Mount, starting with the beatitudes, Jesus teaches his disciples how grace should change the way they view life. In Matthew 5:1-20 grace gives us a new viewpoint four ways: 1) followers of Jesus are surprised by grace; 2) followers of Jesus are seasoned with grace; 3) followers of Jesus shine out grace; and 4) followers of Jesus are successful because of grace. Grace should change who we are, to the very core, because of just how much Jesus Christ has done for us. He is the only one to every live the beatitudes perfectly, or the rest of the Sermon on the Mount, but he gave all that hard work to us. Now when God the Father looks on us, his adopted children, he sees those who have lived them perfectly. Grace changes our perspective.
