Crowds of people were following Jesus. He was in the public eye, being sought out. Were his disciples basking in the limelight? Finding pleasure in fame?
When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on the mountain and
sat down. His disciples came to him, and Jesus described to them the person who
is to be congratulated, to be envied. He explained the best way of living, the one
that gives the greatest rewards today and tomorrow. The person who accepts the
demands of God’s Kingdom, that person truly finds happiness and well-being.
What Jesus taught his disciples is known as The Beatitudes
and is found in The Sermon on the Mount.
