Jesus knew that their hopes were to be disappointed. He had come to teach them of something far better than they had sought. 60 He had come to restore the true worship of God. He was to bring in a pure heart religion, that would manifest itself in a pure life and a holy character. In the beautiful Sermon on the Mount He explained what God thinks most precious, and what would give real happiness.

Jesus vidste, at de ville blive skuffede i deres forventninger. Han var kommet for at undervise dem om noget, der var langt bedre end det, de stræbte efter. Han var kommet for at genoprette den sande gudsdyrkelse. Han skulle indføre hjertets sande religion, som ville give sig udtryk i et rent liv og en hellig karakter. I den dejlige bjergprædiken gav han en fremstilling af det, der har størst værdi i Guds øjne, og hvad der vil bringe sand lykke.
