biblestudy: Matthew (Part 2)
Matthew 4-5 Beatitudes as a Compendium of Christ's Teaching
John W. Ritenbaugh
Given 02-Sep-81; Tape #BS-MA02
Description: In this second installment expounding the book of Matthew, John Ritenbaugh describes the loose form of casual worship in the local synagogue as contrasted with the more ritualistic applications in the temple. As no formal ministry was trained specifically to speak, lay people were often asked to read the Torah portion and then would sometimes give a short sermon or commentary. In this venue, both Jesus and the apostle Paul would be asked to read a portion of the Torah, prophets, or readings. Jesus would often use healing to punctuate the consequences of sin, and to help us to learn to intensely hate sin, the cause of our physical pain. The Sermon on the Mount constituted a compendium of the teachings of Jesus Christ. The states of mind described in Jesus Christ’s Beatitudes constitute total selflessness and dependence upon God, bringing automatic joy and blessedness. The Beatitudes demonstrate an active caring for this world, crying out and sighing for the abominations, praying for God’s Kingdom.[NB: This series of Bible Studies from 1981-82 is incomplete.] (81 minutes)
