Matthew 8:5-13, Luke 7:1-10

Father, like the centurion, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. If there is any moment when I doubt that, please forgive me, and restore my faith. Father, the servant was healed not because of his faith but because of the faith of the centurion. Does this not mean that non-believers might be healed because I, a believer, pray for them? Father, help me to pray for non-believers so that they will be healed because of my faith. Amen.

The Sermon on the Mount: Notes

1. When Jesus described those who are blessed, He knew He was describing Himself. Does anyone not believe that Jesus was the perfect representation of the Beatitudes?
2. Jesus was being insulted, persecuted, and lied about, with all kinds of evil being said against Him, at the time He taught these truths. He knew what He was talking about.
3. Salt was used as a food preservative and as a disinfectant. It is believed salt was even used by Roman soldiers as currency. The word “salt” came from Anglo-Norman French “salarie” which came from Latin “salarium” which came from Latin “sal” for salt. When Jesus said “you are the salt of the world, he was saying you have value.”
4. People used olive oil in pottery lamps for the lighting in their home. The wealthier the family, the more decorative the lamps. Experiments of replicas of Herodian lamps have shown such lamps can burn 4 to 5 hours. Oli......READ MORE.

The question is: to whom was Jesus teaching? Matthew 7:28-29 clearly informs us that Jesus taught the crowds and that they were amazed by His teaching. He taught as one who had authority and not as the teachers of the law taught. Luke 6:17-20 tells us the Jesus came down from the mountain with His disciples and was among the people. However, He “looked to His disciples” (NIV) who were in the midst of the crowd and then began to teach His disciples with the crowds listening.
