Explanation
(i) Sermon on the mount under worldly possession: Jesus taught His followers not to lay their treasures on earth where moth consumes and robbers steal. He admonished that they should lay their treasures in heaven where it would be safe. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. According to Jesus, the eye is the amp of the body. So, if the eye is sound, the whole body would be full of light. However, if the eye is not sound, the whole body would be full of darkness. If the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness? Jesus asked. No one can serve two masters, said Jesus: for either he would hate one and love the other. Or he will be devoted to th one and despise the other. According to Jesus, no one can serve God and Mammon.
(ii) Sermon on the mount under Anxiety: Jesus taught that people should not be anxious about their life; what the shall eat or drink. Or about their body; what they shall put on. According to Jesus, life is more than food and th body more than clothing. He also said that birds neither sow nor reap or gather, but are fed by God. According t Jesus, human beings are of more value than birds. He asked if by being anxious one can add a cubit to his stature, He wondered why people should be anxious about clothing. The lilies do not toil or spin, but according to Jesus they are better arrayed than Solomon. Jesus said God who clothed the grass will clothe the people and admonishes that they should have more faith as he tagged them, men of little faith. Jesus then asked them to seek first God': kingdom and His righteousness and all other things shall be added.
