The Sermon On The Mount (Matt. 5-7)

“Usual” standards by which men measure happiness or blessedness are not even discussed by Jesus Jn 18:36
From a Latin word meaning “consummate bliss or happiness; blessedness”
![Page 23: The Sermon On The Mount (Matt. 5-7) …. Lesson 1 – General Introduction Overview Memorable public addresses have often “defined” men in pursuit of.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697bff91a28abf838cbfa67/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
The Sermon On The Mount (Matt. 5-7)
Lesson 2 – Kingdom Citizens 5:3-12 The Beatitudes
Appropriately called this because they describe the “true” (spiritually) happy person
These “traits” are not……hereditary (hair, eye color; DNA)…product of environment (language, accent)
![Page 24: The Sermon On The Mount (Matt. 5-7) …. Lesson 1 – General Introduction Overview Memorable public addresses have often “defined” men in pursuit of.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697bff91a28abf838cbfa67/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
The Sermon On The Mount (Matt. 5-7)
Lesson 2 – Kingdom Citizens 5:3-12 The Beatitudes
These “traits” are entirely self-willed, chosen cp. Lk 14:26-33
A person “chooses” to be spiritually poor; mournful; hungry & thirsty for righteousness
![Page 25: The Sermon On The Mount (Matt. 5-7) …. Lesson 1 – General Introduction Overview Memorable public addresses have often “defined” men in pursuit of.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697bff91a28abf838cbfa67/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
The Sermon On The Mount (Matt. 5-7)

Neither are these “traits” competing factors Not describing 8 different citizens, each one
blessed differently cp. 1 Cor 12:1, 4, 7-11 They describe the disciple of Christ
Each citizen possesses all these “traits”
![Page 26: The Sermon On The Mount (Matt. 5-7) …. Lesson 1 – General Introduction Overview Memorable public addresses have often “defined” men in pursuit of.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697bff91a28abf838cbfa67/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
The Sermon On The Mount (Matt. 5-7)
Lesson 2 – Kingdom Citizens 5:3-12 The Beatitudes
The kingdom citizen is different in what he thinks, feels, values, admires, seeks
He is submissive, not self-righteous He comes to God aware of his own failures…
very much aware of his own emptiness
![Page 27: The Sermon On The Mount (Matt. 5-7) …. Lesson 1 – General Introduction Overview Memorable public addresses have often “defined” men in pursuit of.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697bff91a28abf838cbfa67/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
The Sermon On The Mount (Matt. 5-7)
Lesson 2 – Kingdom Citizens 5:3-12 The Beatitudes
He is not “mighty,” obtaining what he wants or needs by force or deception
He is patient and kind…dependent upon God He yields himself to (his wants & rights) to
the needs of others
![Page 28: The Sermon On The Mount (Matt. 5-7) …. Lesson 1 – General Introduction Overview Memorable public addresses have often “defined” men in pursuit of.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697bff91a28abf838cbfa67/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
