Sermon on the Mount

A clear, concise, and well-communicated statement summarizing the foundations of Christianity, The Sermon on the Mount is an incomprehensibly impactful and irrefutably controversial work of literature. Divisive to some and a critical cornerstone to others, this passage from the Biblical Gospel of Matthew contains a collection of metaphorical imagery and expressions in addition to promises of heavenly rewards and warnings of perpetual punishment in the afterlife to those who accept or disavow its teachings respectively. The sermon is delivered from the central figure in the Christian faith, Jesus Christ. A suitable description concerning The Sermon on the Mount is “undiluted.” Whether one agrees or stands opposed to the teaching within the…

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. The Sermon explains and clarifies the Law that was taught by Moses. These…

of many Jesus’ sermon on the Mount. It was also known as one of the centerpieces of Jesus’ teachings to the people and His disciples. This compilation of Jesus’ sermon on the Mount begin after Jesus saw the crowds that made Him went up on a mountainside to teach these people (5:1). Before He begun to teach them about “how to pray” or mostly known as the passage of “the Lord’s prayer,” Jesus had covered several different aspects, such as “being the salt and light (5:13-16), adultery (5:27-30),…

All of the big religions have something to offer humanity. Hinduism and Buddhism teach of oneness and depict the infinite forms that God takes. Taoism, from ancient China, explains the ebb and flow of all that we are and all that happens around us. Islam brings to light that there is one God and he created everything, even us. Native American and indigenous cultures teach humanity about the incomprehensible value of mother earth. So, what is it that Christianity brings to the table? The Sermon…

Jesus was a teacher, interpreter of the law, and leader. One of Jesus’s significant interpretations is the Sermon on the Mount. The Sermon on the Mount was given to the people on how to love, how to flee from sin, and how to please God with out lives. Matthew 7:28-29 says, “When Jesus finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed at His teachings because He taught as one who had authority, and not as their teacher of the law.” Jesus also tells the people His true intentions on the Ten…

They were given to teach the people how to live for God and how to live in relationship with him and appreciate creation and what God had already done. Also, they were to teach individuals how to look at the world, to change the people and to see the value and worth of others. The Beatitudes purpose was also to provide people with a pathway to follow to find the happiness with God in their lives that they’re in need of. According to the beatitudes, the sermon that Jesus gives using the…

with the prophecy of the OT in Isaiah with Jesus’ situation. This leads Pilgrim to conclude that the distinctive presentation shows that the theme of ‘good news to the poor’ is at the center of the Lukan story (Pilgrim 64). The passage thoroughly highlights the deep concern for the poor and its centrality in Luke, and with the use of Isaiah, Pilgrim states that it enhances the OT’s understanding of the Jubilee Year in the context of Jesus. The members of the synagogue did not doubt that the…

Throughout history, NPs have been and are called to serve by gathering patient histories, performing physical exams, ordering procedures, diagnosing, treating, and managing disease, and prescribing medications and making referrals.

As I read the book I noticed that he had backed up his whole case for discipleship with Scripture. It almost seems like a commentary on the Gospel of Matthew as much time he gives to the Sermon on the Mount. As far as I could tell he handled the Scriptures well and I did not notice anything taken out of context. This to me strengthens his case because we cannot deny Scripture if it is handle correctly. Another strength would be that the book is very informative. I mean Bonhoeffer thoroughly…

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…
