Wonderful episode! Often forgotten, not taught, or taught properlyπΆ. Christ teaches how The Law (From Exodus, Leviticus, and Deuteronomy) is still valid today, and He commands us to follow it. It will not pass away "until everything is accomplished (NIV) [or till all be fullfilled (KJV)]." π
Do yourself a favor, and listen to the entire episode π We cover two more beatitudes, and the "Salt and Light;" but I also cover some important issues at the end. Don't skip anything! π
Acts Chapter Two is the day of Pentecost! The Holy Spirit flows from Heaven with the roar of a mighty wind, settling on the Apostles like tongues of fire π Filled with the Spirit, Peter preaches to a crowd in the first sermon of Christianity where 3,000 are baptized in mikvahs (baptismal baths) at the temple, and the believers form a community selling all of their worldly possessions and sharing completely with one another. If only we lived in the same manner today! π€ β
In the Gospel of Luke, Chapter 06, Christ teaches about the Sabbath, and the "Sermon On The Plain" (Beatitudes and Woes, loving your enemies, not judging, and building your faith on a solid foundation).Β
Christ talks about worrying, and we even read a bit from the story about the Queen of Shebaπ
Jesus teaches us to store up our treasures in heaven. How is your heavenly 401k? π
In the beginning of Chapter 06, Christ teaches us not to give for the adornment of man, but the approval of God, and to do so in secret.
Christ teaches us to love our enemies. Something that is rarely taught today, but important as Christ commands it, and it is a symbol of our Spiritual growth.
Christ continues His Sermon On The Mount with excellent teachings about our responsibility to exceed The Law to serve Him, and His desire for us to seek a life of righteousness. Excellent Episodeπ
Christ teaches us about divorce. This is a subject difficult for many people to hear, but I give you an introductory explanation right out of scripture in a clear and concise mannerπ
This is actually an excellent episode, as we learn not only about adultery of the heart, but how we must train ourselves to resist temptation to in our lives, as Christ demands it of those who wish to enter His Kingdom π
Christ teaches us about anger, resentment, and murder... and how in His kingdom, demands of the heart exceed the law. Great teaching :)
Today we continue the Sermon on the Mount with an important Beatitude π
Today we continue the Sermon on the Mount with three more Beatitudes! π
Today we cover the beginning of the Sermon On The Mount, and the first three Beatitudes!π
The three temptations of Christ, plus the beginning of Christ's ministry in Matthew's Gospel (but there is a year missing, that is covered in John).
