Doing and Obeying:
Humanly speaking, it is possible to understand the Sermon on the Mount in a thousand different ways. But Jesus knows only one possibility: simple surrender and obedience – not intrepreting or applying it, but doing and obeying it. That is the only way to hear his words. He does not mean for us to discuss it as an ideal. He really means for us to get on with it.

hmm-now that should be the first law of biblical hermeneutics. How does this apply to my own life? Of course a tool to get there is letting the bible interpret itself, but yeah good challenging quote by a guy who challenged a heck of a lot of evil in this world.
