Sermon On The Mount Research Paper

Improved Essays
The “Sermon on the Mount” is recorded in Matthew 5-7. It is a collection of a number of Jesus’ teachings. In class, we talked about how Jesus was giving the disciples a new law. The Sermon on the Mount is the first times we hear of Jesus’ giving a sermon, according to the gospel of Matthew. The Sermon is so rich in things we need to do, think, and say, but I’m going to focus on the attributes that Christians need to display in order to have blessedness, how to pray and what to pray for, and a warning of false prophets.
“Blessed are the poor in spirit, …are they that mourn, …are the meek, …are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness, …are the merciful, …are the pure in heart, …are the peacemakers,… are they which are persecuted

    (102) There are various ways of interpreting the sermon on the Mount, however, Wright argues that the central truth in this passage is that Jesus’ work is God’s future in the present; which are life habits that we can practice. (103) The Beatitudes are announcing a reality that wants to renew the world. (104) Habits such as meekness, humility, mercy, purity, peacemaking should therefore be formed in order to anticipate the future. These habits are “the language of life,” a life which is possible through Jesus.…

    What my husband's advancement to Chief Petty Officer means to me? The answer of that question could be 10 pages long or I could just resume what I feel in one word, "extremely proud", well I guess two words. I met Christian 16 years ago, he was full of energy, funny, and he had the ability to turn any sad or bad situation into a joke making everybody laugh; that is what make me fell in love with him. On the other hand, he was a little immature, unfocused when it comes to work, and nothing seemed to fulfill his expectations.

    One way that it is important to recognize that my worldview influences my desires is that if my worldview is flawed, I may commit illicit acts while believing that my actions are justifiable. For instance, if my worldview includes an appreciation for polygamy, if I were to practice polygamy, I would believe that the practice is appropriate. Conversely, if I held a biblical worldview, specifically that man is to exclusively have one wife, I would strive to solely practice monogamy and reject polygamy. Furthermore, a biblical worldview will influence my desires to increasingly love God, while increasingly hating sin.…

    “Set your affections on things above; love one another; commune at the table of our Lord in one spirit; worship in spirit and in truth; and if daily adoring, imploring, and living the divine Life, Truth, Love, thou shalt partake of the bread that cometh down from heaven, drink of the cup of salvation, and be baptized in Spirit,” wrote Mary Baker Eddy in 1898 (Christian Science Versus Pantheism). Mrs. Eddy (as she is colloquially referred to by her followers) was the woman who came to found the Christian Science religion, based on the metaphysical New Thought movement, in 1879 (Christian Science, “What is Christian Science?”). For individuals who are born into the modern Christian Science church, understanding the concept of “divinity” in the…

    In this essay, I will be talking about what I believe to be true from what Jesus tells us in the Bible, about being the Son of God and how He was here to die on the cross for our sins, showing everyone who He was and who ever believe in Him is save, or healed if they were sick. In this paper, I will be talking about the trustworthiness and historicity of the Gospels. The historical reliability of the Gospel accounts of Jesus’ miracles, and did Jesus claim to be God. Did his disciples believe he was God? The accuracy of the resurrection accounts in the Gospels, that is, did Jesus rise bodily from the dead?…

    According to the teaching of Saint Paul, the body is called to be the “temple” of the Holy Spirit (1 Cor 6:19). Right before this, he said, “Avoid immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body; but the immoral person sins against his own body” (6:18). These sins are against the “holiness” and “honor” of the body. Such sins “profane” the body, and therefore the temple of the Holy Spirit.…

    II. The Sermon on the Mount is not a new law with more rigid commandments than Moses’s law. Therefore, I disagree with the following statement: “Some read the Sermon on the Mount as a new law with more stringent (rigid) commandments than the law taught by Moses.” Jesus said that he didn’t come to bring a new law but to fulfill the old (Mathew 5: 17). There is a historical continuity between the Old Law and the Sermon.…
