Matthew 5:41

began following my savior. However, knowing what I was beforehand has shaped my walk more now that I am Christian then before. We all know we were sinners, Roman 3:10,23; 6:23 make that clear; But something I never thought of myself as was beggar. Matthew 5:3 states "Blessed are the poor in spirit for theres is the kingdom of God". The original word for poor, that was used during Jesus time was πτωχοί which means to crouch referring to a beggar that was double over. So here the picture, someone clothed

economic and sociological backgrounds for this passage. It is sometimes difficult to discern the original, or real, meaning of biblical passages and Luke 6:20-26, and beatitudes in general, are no different. The Sermon on the Mount, found in Mark 5-7, is generally referred to as the greatest sermon ever preached. Jesus begins His sermon by stating the eight beatitudes, and the passage in Luke 6:20-26 contains a subset of these beatitudes combined with a corresponding set of woes. There are two

required to follow if they wish to live wholeheartedly, rather than a way to act in order to be accepted by God and welcomed into Heaven. For instance, the first line in the Beatitudes, "Blessed are they who mourn, for they shall be comforted” (Matthew 5:4) depicts those who are grateful for Jesus

were to be His disciples, like in Matthew 14:18-22, where He told Simon Peter, Andrew, James son of Zebedee, and his brother John to come follow Him. Jesus proclaimed and taught the gospel to a lot of people, and healed their illnesses, like in Matthew 14:23-25. 2. There were two types of miracles that Jesus performed. One of the types is spiritual miracles. These were the things Jesus did that involved spiritual matters, such as when He cast out demons in Mark 5:1-13, and whenever He forgave someone's

Gospels (literally, “good news”) encompass the Synoptics (Matthew, Mark, Luke) and John). In the Gospels of Matthew and John, Jesus is revealed; Jesus reveals God (John 1:18; Matt 11:27); and God speaks finally (Heb 1:1-4). While Matthew presented a narration on the temptation of Jesus, his transfiguration, and the institution of the Lord’s Supper, John was silent on those materials. John mentions no examples of Jesus casting out demons. While Matthew focuses on the genealogy of Jesus, John establishes

Matthew- Christ the King We begin our survey of the biblical theology of the New Testament with the Gospel of Matthew and his focus on the Lordship of Christ and our need for repentance. Christ’s identity is the focus of this Gospel because His identity holds the key to His claim to the throne of the kingdom.

We teach that the formation of the church, the Body of Christ, began on the Day of Pentecost (Acts 2:1-21, 38-47) and will be completed at the coming of Christ for His own at

might be asking yourself many questions. In many ways the “Gospel of Mark” and “Gospel of Matthew”, will leave you wondering? Three main points at which will be explained in some verses. As they are; what are the roles of the people involved, what can the events say about discipleship in Christianity, and what do these events say about what it means to be human. We will see one event from Mark and two from Matthew that will go more in depth with what was said before. All of these events will better explain

New Testament Scholar and Professor at Denver Seminary, provides an insightful commentary on the Gospel of Matthew. Blomberg investigates the text using a historical, literary, and theology analysis. The commentary begins with an introduction analyzing the following 7 topics regarding the entirety of the Matthean Gospel: (1) structure, (2) theology, (3) purpose and audience, (4) sources, (5) date, (6) author, (7) and historicity and genre.
