    Research: Sermon on the Mount verses

    Matt 5:1-3, 8

    There are two places in Scripture that record the Sermon on the Mount, one in Matthew 5-7 and
    the other in Luke 6:17-49. The preaching tours of Jesus included giving this sermon or portions
    of it all over Palestine to different audiences.

    “The great interest of the sermon is that it is a more or less full revelation of Christ’s own
    character, a kind of autobiography. Every syllable of it he had already written down in deeds; He
    had only to translate His life into language” (Dummelow 637).

    Mrs. Eddy had a very high regard for every word the Master uttered and especially for the
    Sermon on the Mount. She writes:

    My 190:13 Christians who accept our Master as authority, regard his sayings as infallible.

    271:22 The Sermon on the Mount is the essence of this Science, and the eternal life, not the
    death of Jesus, is its outcome.

    ‘01 11:16-19 To my sense the Sermon on the Mount, read each Sunday without comment and
    obeyed throughout the week, would be enough for Christian practice.

    Matt 5:1-3, 8

    24:4 Acquaintance with the original texts, and willingness to give up human beliefs (established
    by hierarchies, and instigated sometimes by the worst passions ofmen), open the way for
    Christian Science to be understood, and make the Bible the chart of life, where the buoys and
    healing currents of Truth are pointed out.

    The original texts in the New Testament were written in the Greek language, and the Old
    Testament were written in Hebrew. Mrs. Eddy says looking up words in their original language
    “opens the way for Christian Science to be understood and makes the Bible the chart of life....”

    Some of the foundational Greek words in the beatitudes are:

    “Blessed” is makarios: “to be fully satisfied; one who is in the world yet independent of the
    world; whose satisfaction comes from God and not from favorable circumstances” (Hebrew-
    Greek Key 1735).

    1
    “Blessedness is higher than happiness. Happiness comes from without, and is dependent on
    circumstances; blessedness is an inward fountain of joy in the soul itself, which no outward
    circumstances can seriously affect. Blessedness consists in standing in a right relation to God,
    and so realizing the true law of a man’s being” (Dummelow 639).

    “Disciple” is mathetes; a learner or student; an adherent who accepts the instruction given to him
    and makes it his own rule of conduct.

    A disciple is one who puts into practice what he has been taught. He is not just a hearer of the
    word, but also a doer – not only a professor of Christianity, but also a practitioner of it.

    ‘Kingdom” is basileia in Greek and means “royal dominion, kingdom, government; spiritually
    the kingdom of God is within the human heart” (Hebrew-Greek Key Study Bible, 1698).

    Notice how all the beatitudes are really spiritual equations. There is a requirement or rule on one
    side and a promise on the other. If Jesus is teaching us how to be Godlike through the Sermon on
    the Mount, how to have the mind of Christ, then these qualities of thought are extremely
    important.

    1And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came
    unto him:

    In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus “is on the mountain: and when he is set” (ready or prepared), he
    delivers the sermon. The mountaintop could be a literal place in or around the Capernaum area; it
    could also imply a mental attitude and altitude of thought.

    “Luke tells us that the night before this sermon was delivered he spent the entire night in private
    prayer.” (Dummelow)
