Focus Questions
1. Where did Jesus go to deliver His teaching in the Gospel?
2. To be blessed is to be happy, or to be fulfilled and complete. As a whole, what is Jesus saying about happiness or being fulfilled by His teaching?
3. Read through each “Blessed are…” statement. Do you think these statements seem different from what our culture tells us about what we must do or be like in order to be happy? Why or why not?
4. Why do you think Jesus warns the crowd that they will be persecuted for following Him? Why should a follower of Jesus rejoice and be glad?
