"Jesus climbed the mountain together with his disciples and the crowds that followed craving something new out of life. They already knew he was different and wanted to know why and what he had to offer. On this mountain Jesus taught them the laws of the kingdom of God that were written not on a stone tablet but on his heart and in his life. Yearn for justice, work for peace, show forth compassion. These were the very things that his followers had seen Jesus live out. They were woven into the very fabric of his being. These were the things that had made them crave something new and made many of them willing to leave their livelihoods and their job security to follow him. They were not only written on Jesus heart but became imprinted on the hearts and lives of his followers too – a new and living covenant that turned the world upside down in a way that the laws Moses brought down from his mountain never could." http://godspace-msa.com/2011/01/31/do-we-climb-mountains-with-jesus-or-with-moses/
