I’ve been talking recently with a new friend about how to memorise the #SermonontheMount.
Thought I’d share my thoughts here, just as an interested amateur, in case they encourage others (a) to share their methods, (b) to have a go at memorising this beautiful sermon themselves.
1. Structure and Hierarchy!

I find this the single most helpful element in memorising longer units.
What is the overall structure of the sermon, at the most birds-eye level? E.g.:

Intro
Law and Prophets (Ethics; Devotion; Common Struggles)
Conclusion
Then, each of those units break down into their own structure.

E.g. Ethics. This breaks down into two groups of three sayings each: (a) murder; adultery; divorce. (b) oaths; eye for an eye; love your enemies.
