“When Jesus had finished these words, the crowds were amazed at His teaching; for He was teaching them as one who had authority, and not as their scribes.”
— Matthew 7:28–29, NASB1995
Amazed by the Authority
The Sermon on the Mount wasn’t just beautiful—it was powerful. Jesus didn’t speak like the teachers of His day who leaned on tradition and religious status. He spoke with the weight of Heaven behind every word. His words pierce hearts, expose motives, and stir holy wonder.
After 80 days walking verse by verse with Him, ask yourself:
Do His words still amaze you?
Do they move you to obedience, reverence, and love?
The Kingdom life isn’t theory—it’s transformation. Jesus taught with authority because He is the King. Let His words reshape your life from the inside out.
Reflection:
Do I treat Jesus’ words as suggestions or as the voice of the One who reigns?
Prayer:
Lord, You have spoken, and I am in awe. Shape my life by Your Word. Let me live in obedience to the King. Amen.

I’m a follower of Christ, learning daily to walk the narrow path laid out in His Word. Through Rooted & Raised: Anchoring Women & Children in Christ, I simply seek to point others back to Scripture, tested by the Holy Spirit, lived out in faith, and anchored in truth.
● This space isn’t about lofty theology or grand platforms. It’s about humble obedience, Kingdom living, and helping others, especially women and families, rediscover the kind of faith that bears fruit, costs something, and reflects the love of Christ. My heart is to encourage others as I learn, grow, and surrender alongside them.
