Sermon On The Mount Chapter 5 Summary

396 Words2 Pages

Matthew Chapter Five speaks about Jesus’ teachings from the Sermon on the Mount. The Sermon on the Mount basically talks about what our life would be like if we lived in our faith, thoughts, or even words and actions. Six times throughout chapter five Jesus said, “You have heard it said”, or “But I tell you..” When he did this he was calling people to a new life instead of one following the legal system, that the Pharisees had imposed. There were four main purposes for the Sermon on the Mount; to expose our sin, to point us to Jesus Christ, demonstrate a way to happiness and show us how to live a life that is pleasing to the Lord. Throughout Matthew 5 Jesus teaches us the Eight Beatitudes. The beatitudes explain that we should live differently

  • Chapter Four Of N. T. Wright's 'Sermon On The Mount'

    284 Words  | 2 Pages

    Chapter four of N.T. Wright discusses the difficulties of reading scripture. Interpretation is the main issue as it requires exegesis and hermeneutics that will indicate what the writer was trying to say and how it applies to us today. In this section, we are dealing with the Sermon on the Mount that deals with the coming kingdom of God. Wright states the larger truth; “God’s future is arriving in the present, in the person and work of Jesus, and you can practice, right now, the habits of life which will find their goal in that coming future (Wright, 103). The author makes a clear contrast between happiness ad blessedness (104).

  • The Beatitudes Ethical Argument

    931 Words  | 4 Pages

    Some people say the Beatitudes are impossible to do today; they are confounding because they tell us to live our lives with hope and happiness in a dying world. One specific argument that arises between the Beatitudes is whether people that actively following Christ can be soldiers in war. How can someone be a peacemaker, show mercy and meekness in an active line of duty? If you take this Beatitude in a literal sense, you may see a contradictory statement, but if think on it in a more spiritual aspect, you gain understanding. When thinking about the situation of war think about it in the perspective of the lesser of two evils and that war are justified.

  • Theme Of Piety In The Aeneid

    1205 Words  | 5 Pages

    Much like how Aeneas put his life in danger to protect his city and rescue his family from Troy, Jesus teaches self-sacrifice, and one’s commitment to their family however, he reinterprets the definition of family and society. Jesus declares: “Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me………..and whoever does not take up the cross and follow me is not worthy of me” (Matthew 10: 37-38). Jesus redefines family to be his disciples that devote their entire lives to God. He refines the ideas of society through the Beatitudes by proclaiming the “blessed” which is the model discipleship. The Beatitudes are part of Jesus’ teachings on paving a path to Heaven through selfless acts and compassion; he quotes: “let your light shine before other, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your father in heaven” (Matthew 5:

    “The Parable of the Sower” and other related parables in Mark 4 explain how one should listen to the word of God and treat others. Jesus says, “And these are the ones sown on the good soil: they hear the word and accept it and bear fruit,” (Mark 4) in order to emphasize how the people who accept and understand the word of God and live by it will be saved. Other texts such as Matthew 5-7, emphasize obedience in thought and deed to God. In this text, Jesus interpreted the Ten Commandments in a new way, telling his followers how they should act in order to enter the kingdom of heaven. He said, “Whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven; whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 5).

  • Old Testament Chapter 3 Summary

    1308 Words  | 6 Pages

    Chapter 3: Old Testament Materials for a Relational View of Providence Involving Risk (Agreement with the Major Themes of Scripture) 3.1 The Introduction. The author opens the discussion by telling us that many theologians have developed a “risk-free” model of providence that demonstrates that they believe that God exercises meticulous providential control — his creatures are simply acted upon. The author also states that this view is usually supported by a number of Scriptures (Ps 47:7-8; Is 29:16; Jer 18:1-6; Rom 9:21; Mt 5:45 and Mt 10:29). However, in this section, the author moves to prove that the Old Testament provides us with much material to confirm that God is capable of and has been involved in a relationship with his creation that involves "give-and-take", insomuch that it is understood that He does take risk as it relates to the fulfillment of his goal for his divine providence. 3.2 The Creation and Its Divinely Established
