The Second Mile – The “Blesseds”

Before Life Group

1) Listen to the corresponding message either live or at . Or you can pick up a CD from church.

2) Pray and ask God for insight as you do your personal study.

3) Answer the questions as well as you can. Don’t look for the only “right answer”, answer what you think and what the Lord brings to your mind

Read the Matthew 5:1-12

This section of scripture is often known as “the beatitudes” (from Latin beatus, meaning "blessed" or "happy") Is Jesus talking about different people for each beatitude, or different characteristics that we should all have?

What tense are the Beatitudes written in? (that is, are they saying something about the past, present or future?). What significance might these tenses have?

Can you see any pattern to the layout of the Beatitudes? (that is, what structure do the sayings have, is there a flow to the ideas they express?)

Are any words or ideas left undefined? Is there ambiguity? (that is, can a sentence mean more than one thing?)

Sum up the Beatitudes in one sentence.

How did Jesus live out or teach about the “beatitudes” in these stories

Luke 14:16-24

Luke 19:2-10

Luke 23:39-43

How can Jesus’ teaching about these “blesseds” make a difference in your life?

Pray together.
