The book of Matthew, chapters 5 through 7, was known as “The Sermon on the Mount.” Which were words spoken by Jesus Christ. The purpose of this sermon was to show the representation of the normative foundation of Christian morality. For example, this passage was more about heartfelt benevolence towards others around you and genuine devotion to God. The tradition of the 10 Commandments was questioned by Jesus due to the fact that if an individual obeyed and kept the Law of This would please God. Another way to please God would be if “men entered the Kingdom of Heaven, which is only possible if they change qualitatively in their hearts” (Zunjic)The first part of Jesus' teachings consisted of blessings known as beatitudes. The Beatitudes are a set of teachings of Jesus. The word beatitude comes from a Latin adjective beatitudo which means happiness, fortunate and blessed. The beatitudes are found primarily in verses 3 through 6. According to Wilkins, "They apply to an almost 'upside down' reality and this vision that should be respected in life in the functioning of Kingdom life among God's people." If an individual decided to disobey or decide not to follow the pattern rules of this world, God would view that type of behavior as an upside-down lifestyle. If you were an authentic discipline you would follow the indications of the beatitudes. “Jesus tried to set goals in the Beatitudes and throughout the Sermon on the Mount. These goals should not be seen as impossible ideals, but rather as a new kind of life that engages, permeates, and changes lives” (Robinson, et al.). Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who cry, for they will be consoled. Blessed are we... middle of the paper... we who love prosecutors who work and sin against us. At the end of Jesus' sermon he stated, “Be perfect therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect” (Matthew 5 verse 48). When Jesus claimed to be perfect, Jesus did not mean to be some kind of great achiever or to have a perfect attitude. point Jesus was trying to make was to stop comparing themselves to others. When people decide to compete with others or compare themselves to others it will lead them down a path of false sense of righteousness we learn a lesson from his statement “to be perfect.” Jesus understands that no one is 100% perfect out here. There is also the possibility that there may be a morally challenged individual than you may be in the end there is room for improvement in God's perfection.
