a) The Sermon on the Mount is rich in word pictures that we could regard as parables. However there are a dozen other parables in the sermon on the mount that are worthy to take note of (Matthew chapters 5-7).

2. Avoiding The Great Mistakes

a) Rejecting God's invitation, ignoring his word, being blind to one's sin, and unprepared for judgment, are great mistakes to which Jesus draws our attention in all his teaching.

iii) Two gates and two roads (Matthew 7:13-14).
