Bible Lesson 11
El Sermón en el Monte, parte 1 – The Sermon on the Mount, part 1
This passage contains some of the greatest and most famous words ever spoken on earth. Jesus spoke them to a large crowd on a hillside long ago, but they are every bit as relevant to us today as they were back then.
It begins with the Beatitudes, or the blessings. We see that the truly blessed ones in God’s eyes are those that are weak, humble, peacemakers, hungry, thirsty… in other words, those who know their inability and dependence.
We also learn that we will be persecuted, but we will be blessed through it.
We see that we are the salt of the earth, a city on a hill, a lamp in this dark world. We are to stand out from the world around us.
I hope that this is more than just a Spanish exercise for you; may it be a meditation on the character of God, and on the character of a true believer.
