Welcome to Episode #202 of the Way of the Bible podcast. This is our second of eight episodes in our Twenty-Sixth mini-series entitled Return to Sermon on the Mount. We are in the final Chapter of Jesus’ sermon on the mount. In our last episode, we addressed not judging others. I hope you discerned from that episode that Jesus was not merely speaking to his disciples and others gathered below him, but addressing us, believers, throughout the span of church history.
Today, we take a step up, if that were even possible from where we were on our last episode, to a high peak in scriptural instruction that impacts everything. Given our short format, I can only lead you to this upwelling spring of living water. It will be up to you after this episode to drink fully of this water of life and experience transformation as mountains begin to move at your request, hidden treasures are revealed along the path, and ancient doors into secret chambers are unlocked and swung open at your touch.
Let’s start with the passage.
Matthew 7:7-11– “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. 9 Or which one of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent? 11 If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!
