Jesus Character & Influence: Matthew 5:1-16
Who are the
people of the beatitudes?
What
qualities are they to have?
What are
the blessings promised?
The
beatitudes are eight fundamental emotional attributes that are a formula for
personal and societal health.
Ø The Poor in Spirit
Ø Those Who Mourn
Ø The Meek
Ø Those Who Hunger & Thirst for
Righteousness
Ø The Merciful
Ø The Pure in Heart
Ø The Peacemakers
Ø The Persecuted
Salt of
the Earth & Light of the World
Our influence
depends upon our character.
We bring
blessing on ourselves.
We bring
salvation to others.
We bring
glory to God.
As
followers of Jesus, by how we live we are commissioned to stop the spread of evil
and promote the spread of truth.
Memory Verse: Week Two
Let your light shine before others, so that they may see
your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven. Matthew 5:16
