Starting in Chapter 5 through chapter 7 we have the first of 5 longer sections of Jesus' teaching. We noted that there are connections with Jesus' instruction in what is called the Sermon on the Mount and the ministry of Moses. Moses went up to Mount Sinai to receive the Law. Jesus here gives his instruction on one of the mountains or hills of Galilee. Another connection with Moses can be seen as we look at the end of the Sermon on the Mount in chapter 7. In verse 12, Jesus states a summary message of the entire OT. And then starting in verse 13, Jesus gives 4 warnings. This structure can also be seen in the law and in the prophets. In Deut. 30 we have Moses setting before the children of Israel the way of life and the way of death as Jesus does here at the end of Matthew 7. Today, we will first look at verse 12. Jesus gives a summary of the law and the prophets, often called the golden rule. And then from verses 13 and 14, Jesus sets before us the way of life and the way of death.
