The Sermon on the Mount: Jesus' Moral Values

Contrary to those who appear to think that the only "moral issues" which should concern contemporary Christians are abortion, homosexuality and stem cell research, Jesus was concerned about many issues. Although He wrote no systematic ethical system, He gave His followers principals to guide them about moral issues, which He did not mention. These include making peace, healing the sick, feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, housing the homeless and visiting the imprisoned.
