The teaching Jesus

Matthew 5 Sermon on the mount
When the crowd came to Jesus, they had a true mountain top experience. Can you imagine sitting on top of a mountain and listening to Jesus teach. The bible says that He open His mouth and taught.

Read these verses like you are sitting on that Mountain with Him and you will receive a blessing. He will teach us about humility, meekness and mercy.  He praises the pure in heart, the  peacemakers and those who hunger and thirst after righteousness  and promises them they will be blessed. Those who mourn will be comforted and those persecuted for his name sake will be rewarded. He calls us salt and light and tells us to let our light shine before man so that they will see our good works and glorify our Father in heaven.

He explains that He has come to fulfill the law  and gives us Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth..BIBLE. His teachings are not always easy to understand or do, but they are  true and right  and the best advice you will ever get.

Listen as he teaches us how to deal with those around us. He teaches how to handle anger and reconciliations. He talks about Adultery and Divorce. He tells us to let our yes be yes and our no be no and to never seek revenge or retaliation. We are to give to the needy and not expect any thing in return. We are to love our neighbors AND our enemies and even to pray for them.  I told you His teachings are not always easy to follow, but we will be blessed when we do.

We continue in chapter 6 with more instructions on how we should live in a manner pleasing to God.  When you give, give in secret and you will receive your reward.  If you give before man so that you will be honored , you have already received your reward.  I think that I would rather be rewarded by God than man. Some times we can not help our self, we just have to brag a bit. We are also to pray and fast in secret.  We are not to  lay up our treasures here on earth.  For where  our treasure is, that is where our heart is also. We are not to be anxious about our life, for it does no good. In other words, do not worry, trust God.

In chapter 7 we learn not to judge or be hypocritical. He teaches  us  how pray to a Father who loves us and teaches us the golden rule. He warns us that the gate that leads to life is narrow and  about false prophets.  He tells us that whoever hears His worlds and does them will be wise.  When He finishes these sayings, the crowd is astonished at His teachings,  for He taught like one who had authority.  Jesus is  the authority on life  

If you would like to enjoy the sermon by Jesus that I reviewed, just turn to Matthew chapter 5, 6, and 7 and read.   Relax and sit at the Master feet and learn and grow in you relationship  with the one who loves you best and knows what you need.
