{{opinions}} ==Main article==One of the most famous records of the teaching of Jesus is found in the [[Gospel of Matthew]] and is known as the [[Sermon on the Mount]]. In this discourse, Jesus taught his followers the ethics that those who have received God's mercy and grace will live by. Calling his followers to "Be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect" ([[Matthew 5:48]]) Jesus asked them to love not only their friends, but also their enemies, to repay evil with good, and to not seek material wealth but to trust God.

[[Jesus]] was a truly amazing teacher. Even by non----__TOC__{{topics}}Christians he is recognized as this. He taught about the [[love]] and [[forgiveness]] and [[mercy]] of [[God]] and challenged us to love in the same way.
During the last few years of Jesus' earthly life, he travelled the country-side of Judea and Galilee (now modern-day Israel and Palestine) teaching the local people about God. With him travelled a number of followers or disciples. 4 separate written accounts of Jesus' life and teaching of this time survive today, and are included in the [[Sermon on Bible]] as the Mount4 Gospels - [[Gospel of Matthew|Matthew]], [[Gospel of Mark|Mark]], [[Gospel of Luke|Luke]]and [[Gospel of John|John]]. Not only did Jesus teach about God's love and forgiveness, he also taught about his own identity and mission, revealing himself to be the [[Messiah]], God's Son who was ushering in a new kingdom, the [[Kingdom of God]]. One of Jesus' most significant points was that it was only through him that a person could come to know God, and that this would be through the suffering and death of Jesus.
