  • The Meaning and Message of the Beatitudes in the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7) Ranko Stefanovic Andrews University
    The Meaning and Message of the Beatitudes in the Sermon On the Mount (Matthew 5-7) Ranko Stefanovic Andrews University The Sermon on the Mount recorded in Matthew 5-7 is probably one of the best known of Jesus’ teachings recorded in the Gospels. This is the first of the five discourses in Matthew that Jesus delivered on an unnamed mount that has traditionally been located on the northwest shore of the Sea of Galilee near Capernaum, which is today marked by the Church of the Beatitudes. New Testament scholarship has treated the Sermon on the Mount as a collection of short sayings spoken by the historical Jesus on different occasions, which Matthew, in this view, redactionally put into one sermon.1 A similar version of the Sermon is found in Luke 6:20-49, known as the Sermon on the Plain, which has been commonly regarded as a Lucan variant of the same discourse. 2 The position taken in this paper is, first of all, that the Matthean and Lucan versions are two different sermons with similar content delivered by Jesus on two different occasions. 3 Secondly, it seems almost certain that the two discourses are summaries of much longer ones, each with a different emphasis, spiritual and physical respectively. Whatever position one takes, it appears that the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew is not just a collection of randomly selected pieces; the discourse displays one coherent literary theme. The Sermon is introduced with the Beatitudes, which are concluded with a couplet of short metaphoric parables on salt and light.

  • Matthew 5:13-16
    Matthew 5:13-16 - Christians as salt and light for this world - Author: Evert Jan Hempenius © 2017 www.christianstudylibrary.org For any questions about this Scripture passage or the notes, please contact us through the Contact Us tab on the website. Introduction Jesus designates his disciples as salt and light for this world. Both are metaphors. They signify the prophet, disciple and preacher, proclaiming the Word of God. o “Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage” (2 Tim 4:2). The prophetic task is one of the important tasks of the church in the world. o In the time of the Old Testament, the prophets spoke the word of God: . with regard to matters of worship – the temple and the priests, false religion; . with regard to political matters – the king and the leaders of the people; These messages were not confined to Israel but were also directed towards all known powers of the world; Egypt, the Assyrians, the Babylonians and the city states, such as Tyre and Sidon. with regard to economic matters – richness and poverty. with regard to social and judicial matters – the protection of the widow, the fatherless, the poor and the alien. In ethical matters – faithfulness, honesty, mercy, and righteousness, faith, hope, and love. o The prophets of the Old Testament proclaimed the promises and judgments of God. Foretelling the future was only a small part of their task. They spoke about blessing and forgiveness, but also about the wrath of God. Most of these topics are also found in the Sermon on the Mount or elsewhere in the Gospel according to Matthew (and the New Testament): o True worship > The Lord’s Prayer (Mt 6:9-13).

  • 1.31.2021 Septuagesima (Matthew 5:1-16)
    1.31.2021 Septuagesima (Matthew 5:1-16) When the Pharisees and scribes asked why Jesus was eating and drinking with tax collectors and sinners, He said to them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick” (Luke 5:31 NIV). The sick, like Matthew, who was a sinful, despised tax collector, yet became the Apostle who wrote the first book listed in the New Testament; or Mary Magdalene, from whom Jesus “cast out seven demons” (Mark 16:9), and who came to be known as the “Apostle to the Apostles” because she was the first person to see the Risen Lord, and the first messenger who announced His Resurrection to the Apostles; or Paul, who persecuted the Church, who imprisoned Christians, who stood as the witness at the stoning death of the first Christian martyr, Saul, “who was also called Paul” (Acts 13:9), and became the human author of half of the books in the New Testament, the greatest Christian missionary, and a saint who’s led an unimaginable number of people to faith in Christ. We’ve all heard that old saying: It’s not where you start that matters, it’s where you finish, and like the saints who set these examples for us, we all want to finish well. We want to be remembered as men and women of God, people who can say with St. Paul, “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith” (2 Timothy 4:7). At our funeral, we want those words to be said about us.

  • Living Hope Church 19 October 2014 Salt and Light Matthew 5:13-16
    Living Hope Church 19 October 2014 Salt and Light Matthew 5:13-16 (read verses 1-16) Introduction A. I have a question for you. This is a challenging question that I personally find difficult to answer. Who are you (or who am I)? To put it another way: what is your identity? 1. We seem to get our identity from our name (family attributes) or what we do (career). When I started a Twitter account (rarely used) I tried to briefly describe myself: Disciple of Jesus, husband of Beth, father of 4, gramps of 12, lead pastor at Living Hope Church, aiming to live so as to be missed. 2. But is that who I am? Partly, perhaps, but it sure leaves out a lot. It says important things about me but they are primarily things on the surface (after all it is Twitter). 3. It is hard to identify ourselves without referring to our name or what we do. Our actions are so closely tied in to our identity. Who are you? B. How does being a Christian effect our identity? Much in every way. Those of us who are Christians know that sin is part of our identity. We all have this sickness. 1 John 1:8 (ESV) [8] If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 1. We know Jesus came to save sinners (not get your act together first). Matthew 9:10-13 (ESV) [10] And as Jesus reclined at table in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and were reclining with Jesus and his disciples.

With one critical teaching after another, Jesus cuts through centuries of tradition, laws, and culture to reveal a picture of life in God’s kingdom. He overturns outward formalism and impossible religious codes, speaking directly to the heart of the gathered crowd. His path is different than anything they have seen or imagined. Even today, the Sermon feels countercultural. The world system favors the powerful, the proud, and the self-serving.

  • Salt and Light Handout
    Salt and Light Text: Matthew 5:13-16 What happens when you and I are attacked or persecuted? Our fight or flight mode kicks in. Our tendency is to recoil, to curl up, to withdraw, and to hide away. Jesus continues His sermon and teaches clearly that we are the salt of the earth and the light of the world. We are to play an important role in engaging this world. 1. The Salt of the Earth - Matthew 5:13 Jesus never challenged us to become salt or light. He simply said that we are – and we are either fulfilling or failing that given responsibility. Our discipleship is not just for our benefit but to benefit others. Christ puts us - His followers - in this world to be a blessing. It’s not about us. Jesus doesn’t want you to write off the world - He wants you to be salt and light to the world. Disciples are like salt in 3 ways (Considering the historical context) 1. Precious 2. Preservative 3. Flavorful The World is supposed to be better for the simple fact that believers are in it. The world may still hate you despite the great flavor you bring - be flavorful anyway. Christians should be a blessing to the community they inhabit. 2. A Big Compliment; A Larger Responsibility - Matthew 5:14-15 Jesus gives this gathering of peasants, blue-collard attendants, fishermen, and disciples a great compliment by calling them lights - and lights of the World. This compliment was typically reserved in Jewish culture for the brightest and most influential rabbis of the day.

  • Being Salt and Light…And the Fulfillment of the Law and Prophets (Matthew 5:13-19)
    ST RESTORATION FELLOWSHIP – MATT KOSSLER SUNDAY, DECEMBER 1 ,2019 SESSION 13: SERMON ON THE MOUNT SERIES Being Salt and Light…and the Fulfillment of the Law and Prophets (Matthew 5:13-19) 13 “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. 14 “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. 17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18 For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. 19 Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. (Matthew 5:13-19) I. REVIEW A. The Beatitudes: Eight aspects of the Lord’s bridegroom heart that He longs to impart to us in order that we would enter in to the fullness of love and life that He has predestined us to experience (John 10:10; Romans 8:28-30; 2 Corinthians 3:18; Ephesians 3:17-19) B.

  • Weekly Bible Study Reflections for Emmaus Groups at St
    Weekly Bible Study Reflections for Emmaus Groups at St. Stephen’s Church, Richmond, Virginia Preparing for Sunday, February 5, 2017// Epiphany 5, Year A The Gospel: Matthew 5:13-20 Jesus said, “You are the salt of the earth; but if salt has lost its taste, how can its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything, but is thrown out and trampled under foot. “You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill cannot be hid. No one after lighting a lamp puts it under the bushel basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven. “Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets; I have come not to abolish but to fulfill. For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not one letter, not one stroke of a letter, will pass from the law until all is accomplished. Therefore, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches others to do the same, will be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.” Background and general observations This lesson provides a kind of transition from the opening of Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount (the Beatitudes) to the ethical teachings of Jesus in the sermon.

  • “Salt and Light” the Way of Jesus Downtown & Lexington August 30, 2020
    “Salt and Light” The Way of Jesus Downtown & Lexington August 30, 2020 Think back on the last time you saw a Christian or church in the news... was it for a good thing or a bad thing?... If I had to bet, I’d bet not so good. Whether it’s churches ignoring health warnings and putting communities at risk. Churches making power grabs by getting in bed with politicians. This week it was another prominent “Christian” leader caught in a sex scandal. It’s a mess. And it’s a shame. Mostly, because of the contrast with how Jesus described what the church should be. And also because if you don’t know any real Christians and you think the guy in the news is representative of all Christians, then you likely end up thinking Christianity is a joke. Jesus touches on all these ideas in our passage today in Matthew 5. We’re in week 3 of a series called ​ ​ The Way of Jesus - looking at the sermon on the mount where Jesus teaches His followers about life in ​ His kingdom. Teaching them to live like Him and value what He values. If you’re new to our church or not a Christian... just checking things out, this is a great week. We’ll unpack a lot of who Jesus intends for us to be as a church and how we go about that. If you’ve been around for a minute, some of this will be familiar. A few times you’ll be able to predict what I’m about to say.
