Jesus preaches from a mountain
    One day during His Galilean ministry, Jesus went up on a mountainside for he saw the crowds.   He sat down and His disciples came to him and he began to teach them.

    This is what He taught them.




    "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."
    "Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted."



Jesus teaches about the meek and those
who hunger for justice.


    "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth."
    "Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled."






Jesus teaches about the merciful
and the pure in heart.
    "Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy."
   "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God."








Jesus teaches about the peacemakers
and those who suffer.
    "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God."






Jesus teaches about those who have
been mocked or insulted.
    "Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."





Jesus teaches us how to pray.
       Then Jesus taught them how to pray.  This is the manner they were to pray:
Our Father which art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts,
As we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil:
For thine is the kingdom, and the
power, and the glory, forever.
Amen.                                                             "KJV"
