Understanding the Beatitudes and the Sermon on the Mount
If we are to live out the Beatitudes and the Sermon on the Mount and experience the blessed happiness that Jesus promises, it helps to understand the context and how the Beatitudes make up the eight main points for the Sermon on the Mount that follows. The following three articles help give us this understanding:
The Outline of the Sermon on the Mount Setting the Scene of the Sermon on the Mount Blessed Are You... (The Beatitudes) Or, if you prefer, you can just begin by going to the Beatitudes page. |
Finding happiness by following the teachings of Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount is an ongoing endeavor rather than a one-time, "Read it, got it, good, on to the next thing." In order to assist this long-term pursuit, the pages of this website are best read in a 40 day devotional format so the reader can read a short devotional and then pray and think about how to apply it to his or her life.
