Divine Blessings for Life
Divine Blessings for Life
BY Senior Pastor Ben Lee
DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
- Jesus begins His Sermon on the Mount by pronouncing blessings on those whose lives exhibit qualities that sharply contrast with popular views in society.
- 1. If you heard somebody say, “I’m so blessed,” but didn’t know any other information, what would you assume they had recently experienced? (promotion, increment, exam results)
- 2. What feedback have you heard from non-Christians after reading the Sermon on the Mount? How might they evaluate the authenticity of Christians in the light of this passage?
- 3. “Blessedness” or “complete and total happiness” look very different to what we would typically think. Which of the 8 attributes most grabbed your attention?
- 4. How do you feel and respond when you realise you are out of line with how Jesus describes the blessed life?
