“The primary purpose of the Sermon on the Mount is to set before men the law of the Kingdom.” (Page 70)
“The New Testament rests upon the accuracy of this genealogy because it establishes the fact that the Lord Jesus Christ is of the line of Abraham and of the line of David. Both are very important. The line of Abraham places Him in the nation, and the line of David puts Him on the throne—He is in that royal line.” (Pages xx–21)
“The Kingdom of Heaven is the theme of this Gospel.” (Page xiii)
“Why is it that many of us are having trouble living the Christian life? May I say this very kindly: It is ignorance of the Word of God.” (Page 58)
“The Lord is saying that the strongest relationship today is the relationship between Christ and a believer” (Page 174)
J. Vernon McGee was born in Hillsboro, Texas, in 1904. As a student pastor, Dr. McGee's first church was located on a red clay hill in Midway, Georgia. After completing his education (earning his A.B. from Southwestern University in Memphis, Tennessee; his B.D. from Columbia Theological Seminary in Decatur, Georgia; his Th.M. and Th.D. from Dallas Theological Seminary in Dallas, Texas), and after pastoring Presbyterian churches in Decatur, GA, Nashville, TN, and Cleburne, TX, he and his wife came west, settling in Pasadena, where he accepted a call to the Lincoln Avenue Presbyterian Church. He recalls this period as the happiest in his life, with a young family and a young congregation whom he loved.
