    Concentrates on the second beatitude with brief comment on teh first.

    Blessed are those who mourn. What are the beatitudes there for? What was Jesus doing when he gave these words to these people? For a long time, I saw these as a list of instructions somewhat similar to the Ten Commandments. I believed that Jesus was saying this was what he wanted his followers to ...read more

    The Beatitudes give us a guide for how the Christian should respond to the terrible terrorist attacks on our country.

    Introduction Incomprehensible. Unthinkable. Unspeakable. Unbelievably evil. However we describe it, the coordinated terrorist attacks in New York City, Washington, D.C., and Pennsylvania that killed perhaps thousands of blameless and unsuspecting people continue to shock our senses.

    Jesus and the New Covenant: The internalization of the law.

    It feels good to leave the heavy messages of the prophets and come into the sunshine of the New Testament.

    Lesson 7

    "Very solemn and searching is this sixth Beatitude, for it equally condemns most of that which now passes current for genuine religion in Christendom.

    The beatitudes can be understood sequentially .. as stairsteps to "perfection" (Matt. 5:48). The first four lift us to fellowship with God; the other four bring us back down to the reality of ministry with needy people. This sermon was delivered using a ladder as a "prop".
