The Sermon On The Exodus

His meeting is different than from those of the Scribes and Pharisees who preferred meeting in public places to be seen of men.

In this story, Jesus emphasizes the importance of total devotion of God, directing his teachings to the heart. Jesus tells his followers, “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.” Basically Jesus tells him to follow the rules bestowed upon them from God, and good things will happen to them and they will follow the path to Heaven. He even goes as far as to classify individuals and say which are blessed and the certainty of their fate in Heaven. In the Gospel of Matthew, God’s presence is exhibited through nature and reality. It occurs because Jesus goes on a path, stressing the importance of staying dedicated to God and what will happen as a result. The Gospel of Matthew ends with Jesus and his disciples regrouping after his resurrection. His final instructions to his disciples are, “All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.” In this instance, Jesus concludes his primary efforts by leading his disciples to spread the work of God, his biggest goal and

The Sermon on the Mount is a sermon given by Jesus Christ found in the book of Matthew in the Holy Bible. The beginning of this sermon includes a list of blessings called the Beatitudes. Jesus uses these to explain God’s favor towards those who are striving for righteousness. For those who had come to believe and follow Jesus as the son of God, every word that he spoke in the Sermon on the Mount was intended as words of encouragement for Jesus’s disciples and were taken as such. For those who were skeptical, the crowd, that Jesus was truly the son of God, Jesus’s words took on a totally different meaning. The Beatitudes, simple words that promote the humility of man, were explicit words of encouragement for Jesus’s disciples. Yet at the same time, to the crowd listening, the Beatitudes were an implicit invitation to become men of God by believing that this man is God in the flesh, God in spirit, God almighty, God omniscient, God omnipresent, and God omnipotent.

Critical analysis of Christian doctrine often suggests overlapping principles concerning teachings. That is, the teachings of one individual, such as a disciple of Christ are re-interpreted and introduced by another, heightening discussion on historical relevance, intent, ethical implications and methods of delivery. The Sermon on the Mount and the Sermon on the Plain fall under this category of controversial interpretation. One is recognized as essentially playing off the other, delivering the same message while delivering a new level of interpretation. Literary interpretation of the gospel is ever-changing due to the influential nature of the modern environment, where current actions shape the initiatives of the past. While the common understanding is that these sermons lack independence as one re-introduces the theories taught in the previous sermon, the theory requires further interpretation before formulating a conclusion on the independent or collective nature of the sermons.

Discuss the significance of the books of Exodus-Deuteronomy as they move the storyline from Genesis forward.

The beatitudes introduce the teachings of Jesus in the Gospels of Matthew. They are traditionally considered to be a concise summary of the spiritual life we should lead. By following the Lord’s teachings in the beatitudes one can begin to unfold the mysteries of Christ and the Kingdom of God. It is through the example of Christ that we learn to fulfill authentic humanity.

There is an event in history that has been referenced authorities, religious and non-religious individuals alike. The event that I am referring to is the Message given by Jesus on. The rational for people referring to this speech, of course is either for spiritual enlightenment or for its historical significant. The speech has been used for several distinct reasons, though out the ages. The contents of speech goes in depth describing, the moral standards of the Israeli people. The speech has more significant as far it’s timing, the speech was delivered during the Jewish people’s oppression under the iron fist of the Roman Empire. In the speech, Jesus makes many alludes to the many commonly held belief of the Jewish people’s moral law. The moral law that was given to Moses on Mount Sinai, during the Children’s 40 years in the wilderness. I am aiming to prove that the New Covenant, that it was only an extension of the Moral Law proposed in the Old Covenant.

OVERVIEW AND BACKGROUND: The New Testament Pilgrim is instructed to walk "in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called." (Eph. 4.1). This walk includes: humility, gentleness, patience, tolerance, love, unity of Spirit and faith (Eph. 4.2-3). The Christian Pilgrim is not to walk as the Gentiles (Pagans) walk, but walk by putting on the new self, which is in the likeness of God (Eph. 4.23-24). To do this we are to "lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us" (Heb, 12.1). This is the sentiment of the remaining five Psalms of Ascent.

The "sermon on the mount" began with Jesus teaching Beatitudes, where he described the kingdom of God. He taught that those entitled to the kingdom of God are the mourners, poor in spirit and others. He also explained the benefits to be received, for example, "those who are meek will inherit the kingdom of God." Most people think that beatitudes are commands, but beatitudes are the just statement which portrays what God wants from us so as to enter his kingdom. According to Quarles (2011), some of the wording in the beatitudes are symbolic in Christianity and meant to make our spiritual growth stronger. For example, one is not supposed to be poor in spirit so that he may inherit the earth. After the Beatitudes, Jesus preached about salt and light where he symbolizes salt as the wealth of the world which can be lost at any time, and it can never be regained. So Christians are supposed to choose stay in light

I am going to be talking about Moses and the law it was written in the book of exodus. Moses was born a Hebrew in Egypt. Hebrews we're an Israelite slave in Egypt at the time when Moses was born Hebrews started to expand so large that the Egyptians started getting terrified and saying what if the Hebrews outgrow us? If they outgrow us that means the Hebrew will out number the Egyptians so therefore if the Hebrews wanted to take over they will be able to because they outnumber the Egyptians. Pharaoh came up with this idea If he killed all Hebrew baby boys at birth he wouldn’t have to worry about that problem so Pharaoh ordered that all Hebrew baby boys are to be put to death at birth.

While reading Exodus 17:1-7, one will begin to understand the fear and anxiety God’s people have been developing throughout their journey in the “wilderness of Sin.” This account of the Israelite’s, presents us with an opportunity to give a voice of our fears in abandonment. It also presents a visual on how the many ways God responds to us when we are in need, or for lack of a better term, thirsty in the wilderness.

There is biblical evidence that the story of exodus did happen. Moses was born of royalty of the Egyptians, that at the time enslaved the Hebrews. His brother Ramses, also royalty, tells Moses that he was born a slave and that he is Hebrew. Exiled from his hometown, he goes on a journey and meets his wife and nine years later has a son. He gets a message from a burning bush(aka God).

The Old Testament is the largest part of the bible nestled behind the leather binding in the front of the book. Unlike most books, told from one-person or even two this is comprised of multiple, some stories even having two different versions in another point of view; over time it has become a large collection of ancient texts written and re-written by different authors and editors over the many years. The stories show the ancient Israelites, they show the laws, and rituals, which make up their religion and the small embers, which will one day, turn to a flame that is Christianity. The Jewish people view these stories as collected in what they call the Torah, is the collection for what makes up their history and the promise that God gave to them, as well as their laws and what they worship today. For the Christians the Old Testament is still seen as sacred, but most place a stronger importance to the New Testament.

While Josephus and the rabbis ascribed the first five books (the Torah or Pentateuch) to Moses, scholars have shown that these texts were created over time, and that the Bible is a composite text written and edited by many scribes over the centuries. These scriptures were finally accepted as a Bible quite late during the Common Era. Different elements in the book of Genesis are evidence of how the Bible came into formation from several different texts and sources.

Through studying the Old Testament, there have been several instances that I have come across that help us better understand who God is. In the Old Testament, the prophet Isaiah states, “Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom” (Isaiah 40:28). Many of the stories and passages in the Bible allow us to fully grasp who the God is that we serve, and His nature as being all-powerful, mighty, loving, compassionate, and merciful. Although we as humans will always have sin plaguing our existence, we can hold to and stand firm in the fact that our God is a God of love, and that His character is unchanging. Continually studying the Old Testament will allow us to further comprehend the overall nature of our Lord.
