    The Sermon on the Mount is a brilliant teaching, perfectly structured, consisting of four perfectly balanced parts: 1) The “Beatitudes” (5: 3-12), a clever and memorable introduction consisting of eight counter-intuitive statements, capped by a ninth, all linked together by a repetitive syntactic pattern and the repetition of consonant and vowel sounds, closed by two dazzling metaphors of responsibility (5: 13-16). 2) Six propositions that exceed the Law (5: 17-48), presented as six counter-intuitive statements, linked by a repetitive syntactic pattern. 3) Six concrete actions to implement the Law (6:1 -34), presented again as six counter-intuitive statements. 4) A nine-part “call to action,” capped by the astonishment of the crowd (7: 1-29). In this lesson we look in-depth at the “Beatitudes.”

    Lesson #6 The Sermon on the Mount, Part 1.

    (Matthew 5: 1-16)

    In Lesson #5 Jesus moved from his familiar village of Nazareth, relocating to Capernaum 40 miles away on the northwest shore of the Sea of Galilee. At Capernaum Jesus chose his first disciples: Peter, Andrew, James and Johnthree of whom (Peter, James and John) become is inner circle, his most intimate companions. Making Capernaum his headquarters, Jesus began his quest, traveling throughout Galilee teaching, preaching and healing.

    In Lesson #6 we sit with the crowd on the hillside of the Mt. of Beatitudes and we experience an example of Jesus teaching: The Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7). The first of five Great Discourses that comprise the core of Matthews narrative architecture, the Sermon on the Mount is a brilliant, 4-part teaching: 1. 2. 3. 4. A clever and memorable introduction (5: 2-16) Six propositions that exceed the law (5: 17-48) Six concrete actions to implement the Law (6: 1 7: 6) A dramatic call to action (7: 7-29).

    In Lesson #6 we examine Part 1, the introduction.

    Jesus uses three distinct methods in his teaching:


    1. Expository teaching 2. Didactic teaching and 3. Parables The Sermon on the Mount is an outstanding example of his Expository teaching.

    The Sermon on the Mount consists of a 4-part structure: 1. 2. 3. 4. A clever and memorable introduction (5: 2-16) Six propositions that exceed the law (5: 17-48) Six concrete actions to implement the Law (6: 1 7: 6) A dramatic call to action (7: 7-29).

    In this lesson we examine Part 1, the clever and memorable introduction.

    A Quick Note on Fra Angelicos Fresco


    This very stylized fresco is fraught with symbolism!

    Notice that Jesus is teaching on a rock mountain. As Moses delivered the message of the Law on Mt. Sinai, so Jesus delivers the message of Grace on a rock mountain. Jesus is dressed in a red under garment with a blue garment on top. Red suggests his shed blood on the cross, blue his heavenly origin. Light in the fresco moves from bottom to top, drawing our eyes from earth to heaven. In addition, Jesus points upward, reinforcing this movement of light, and the circle of the disciples draws our eyes upward as well. Jesus seems to be addressing Peter on the left, reinforcing Jesus later statement, on this rock I will build my church. Judas sits 2nd from the right. His halo is black, appropriate for the betrayer.

    Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the land. and so on . . .

    The Decapolis

    1. We read in Matthew 4: 24 that Jesus fame spread throughout Galilee, the Decapolis, Jerusalem and from beyond the Jordan. To what do you attribute this? 2. The Beatitudes begin with: Blessed are the poor in spirit. Why do you think Jesus added the qualifier, in spirit? 3. Are the Beatitudes a random list of statements, or do they follow a logical sequence? If not random, what is the organizing principle? 4. With blessedness comes responsibilities? In the Beatitudes, what are they? 5. God has blessed each of us abundantly. What responsibilities do you bear as a result?
