The Beatitudes and Woes of Jesus Christ for the Slow
THE BEATITUDES AND WOES OF JESUS CHRIST FOR THE SLOW SAVOURING OF SERIOUS DISCIPLES by Father Joseph R. Jacobson To the Chinese Christians of our own time who along with survivors of the gulag and the jihad are giving the whole Church a fresh vision of what it means to be called “disciples of Jesus” INTRODUCTORY COMMENTS The Beatitudes and Woes of Jesus Christ are stark. Much of our teaching and preaching based on them is not. Jesus sets them out as ground rules for His disciples. He places them at the very beginning of His special instructions to them, whereas entire theological systems have treated them as an afterthought and relegated them to the end. The problem is that in Jesus’ instructions the Beatitudes are descriptive, not prescriptive. That is, they tell us what discipleship is, not what it ought to be. They spell out the everyday norms of discipleship, not its far off ideals, the bottom line, not the distant goal. This makes us most uncomfortable because, fitting us so poorly they call into question our very right to claim to be disciples of Jesus at all. There can be no question that they are addressed specifically to Jesus’ disciples, both the Beatitudes and the Woes. Matthew makes that plain in his way (Matthew 5:1-2) and Luke makes it plain in his way (Luke 6:20). The fact that Jesus singles them out from the crowds which are all around them, pressing in on them with their own expectations and demands, simply underscores the urgency Jesus felt to clarify what He was expecting of them by way of sheer contrast.

Jesus' Perspective of the Lost Discussion Questions
JESUS’ PERSPECTIVE OF THE LOST DISCUSSION QUESTIONS MATTHEW 9:9-13 1 In Matthew 9:9-13, we see Jesus’ perspective on the needs of those around him. What is the greatest need of mankind? What is a sinner? What does the Bible say about those who are lost in their sins? Discuss as a group what you would say if you were explaining who is a sinner and the effects of sin to someone. Interact with Bible verses in your explanation. 2 Think about why Matthew responded to Jesus’ call. Read the passage again through the lens that Matthew is telling his own story. What stands out to you when viewing the story that way? Jesus said, “Follow me.” and Matthew followed. (Matt. 9:9) What did Matthew leave behind? What have you had to leave behind to follow Jesus? How would Matthew’s former life as a tax collector have impacted his days as one of Jesus’ followers? What do you need to remember about how God can use your story as you follow Jesus with others? Read 1 Timothy 1:13-17 3 Read Luke 18:9-14. This parable reinforces Jesus’ point from Matthew 9:9-13. In Luke 18:9 it says that Jesus told this parable “to some who trust- ed in themselves that they were righteous, and treated others with contempt.” H Read Matthew 9:13. What can guard us from falling into the same dangerous trap of trusting in ourselves for righteousness and treating others with contempt? H In Matthew 9, Jesus encounters opposition for the first time in His public ministry.

Informal Bible Study Discussion Guide for the Gospel of Matthew Chapter 9 Section by Section
Informal Bible Study Discussion Guide for the Gospel of Matthew Chapter 9 Section by section Overview Chapter 8 and chapter 9 go together. Matthew chose to dedicate these two chapters to featuring certain miracles that our Lord performed. Keep in mind that the purpose of Matthew’s gospel is to present Jesus Christ as the promised King and Messiah to the nation of Israel . Matthew presents overwhelming proof, and the miracles of chapters 8 and 9 are a big part of that proof. Understanding this makes what happens at the end of chapter 9 concerning the religious leaders of Israel all the more shocking. Look for that when we get there. Section by Section Questions Verses 1 to 8 1. This same event is described in Mark 2:1-12 and Luke 5:17-26. Let’s read these passages now and note any additional details that Mark or Luke give us. 2. What is the first thing that Jesus says to the paralytic? Do you think that is what the paralytic wanted to hear? What does this tell us about how our human priorities are not the same as the Lord’s priority? 1 3. What did Jesus see that resulted in Him telling the paralytic that his sins were forgiven? What is striking about this? 4. What would the Jews of this time believe was the basis for the forgiveness of their sins? For help on this, you can consult the following Old Testament passages: • Leviticus 4:1-6:7. Especially verses 4:20, 26, 31, 35; 5:10,13,16,18; 6:7.

But come and put your hand on her, and she will live.” 19 Jesus got up and went with him, and so did his disciples. 20 Just then a woman who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak. 21 She said to herself, “If I only touch his cloak, I will be healed.” 22 Jesus turned and saw her. “Take heart, daughter,” he said, “your faith has healed you.” And the woman was healed at that moment. 23 When Jesus entered the synagogue leader’s house and saw the noisy crowd and people playing pipes, 24 he said, “Go away. The girl is not dead but asleep.” But they laughed at him. 25 After the crowd had been put outside, he went in and took the girl by the hand, and she got up. 26 News of this spread through all that region.

Matthew‟S and Mark‟S Pharisees
Matthew‟s and Mark‟s Pharisees By Martin Pickup The Gospels of Matthew and Mark are recognized as key sources of information on the Pharisees, yet any analysis of their data is fraught with difficulty. We are dealing with highly tendentious documents whose interest in the Pharisees lies solely in the fact that, as key opponents of Jesus‘ ministry, the Pharisees serve to set forth Jesus and his teaching in vivid relief. Scholarly debate on the historicity of the material in Matthew and Mark continues, both in regard to what they relate generally about Jesus and his ministry, and in regard to what they relate specifically about the Pharisees. Are we to regard the accounts of encounters between the Pharisees and Jesus as faithful remembrances of actual events, or are we reading idealized material that reflects the issues confronting Christians at the time of the Gospels‘ composition? The dates assigned to these documents play a significant role in this historicity debate. If Mark was written ca. 65 – 70 CE (the common view), it becomes a valuable source of information on the Pharisees prior to 70, even if its specific claims about the Pharisees‘ encounters with Jesus are considered ―idealized.‖ The case is more dubious for Matthew, a gospel which is commonly dated in the 80s or 90s at a time when the Pharisees appear to have risen in prominence and power (though to what extent remains debatable), and a time when the relationship between Jews and Jewish Christians collapsed. That late first-century setting provides a possible Sitz im Leben for Matthew‘s gospel, which suggests to many scholars that, rather than providing historical information about the Pharisees of Second Temple Judaism, Matthew‘s portrayal of the Pharisees is really a representation of the Jewish leadership toward the end of the first century.
