Explain how the life of Martin Luther King is a good example of how to put the teachings of Jesus into action, particularly the Sermon on the Mount.

The Sermon on the Mount contains the moral teachings of Jesus, which were written down by St. Matthew. Jesus told these teachings to his disciples. The teachings were moral and ethical "laws" on how one should live life. He usually told these teachings from high points so everyone could hear him, hence the name Sermon on the Mount. If someone did follow his Sermon then they in his eyes were suitable to become a "member in the Kingdom of God."

The Sermon begins with the Beatitudes; the teachings written within this describe the character of a true disciple.

The Sermon itself although quite large gives one important message, which is to help people because you want to and they need it, not to give help to improve ones self image or social standings or to receive anything out of it. I think this message is very important because although you may be helping people, you have to ask why because there is a very big difference in why you are helping.

In those times these teachings had only a minor area of application, but in today's society where we have many difference races living together ...
