The Sermon On The Mount: Excerpt From The Gospel Of Matthew

335 Words2 Pages

“The Sermon on the Mount” is an excerpt from the Gospel of Matthew. In this story Jesus charges his followers to follow his eight beatitudes. The most important beatitude Jesus states at the mount is “Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven”(Matthew 5:10-12). This is the most important beatitude because it helped the early Church. This line is the inspiration to martyrs, that in their deaths then inspired others to become Christians. They made great contributions to the early Church. Peter the Apostle was one of the early martyrs of the Catholic Church, and the first Pope. He was crucified very much like Jesus was except he requested his cross to be put upside-down.

    In chapter 3 of Speaking of Jesus, Carl Medearis talks about what it means to own Christianity. He says "If we don't truly know what the gospel is, we have to find an explanation for Christianity." Meaning that if we do not know what the gospel is or what it is teaching us, then we try to define it by our own standards, and that is where it gets messy. Medearis talks about how Christianity is more than a religion, but it is a relationship and people tend to not understand that. He explains why people are so defensive and put up their guards towards Christians, because Christians can be so judgemental.

For you tithe mint, dill, and cummin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faith. It is these you ought to have practiced without neglecting the others”.

  • 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:
