The Sermon on the Mount is Jesus's most famous sermon and the longest sermon recorded in the New Testament from Jesus's ministry years on earth.
The Lord Jesus was an incredible teacher because every single word He said, came from Divine lips.
John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
Jesus was God and when Jesus was teaching the people God was teaching the people… with power.
At the end of the Sermon on the Mount Matthew states this: Matt 7:28 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine: 29 For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
It is believed that the Sermon on the Mount was delivered from a Mountain in Northern Israel.
The first part of the Sermon on the Mount is called The Beatitudes. In the Beatitudes, Jesus shows us the qualities that should be present in every child of God.
Nine times in Matthew 5 from vs 3-11 we find the word BLESSED.
The Word Blessed here in English in our New Testaments can be translated as happy.
The Blueprint for happiness is: "Not what a man or woman has but rather what a man or woman is".
Godly character brings Godly Happiness.
Your happiness as a believer is dependent largely on your response and obedience to the Word of God.
Obedience to the Lord brings happiness, disobedience in the believer's life, brings distress and sadness.
And happiness is possible in a Godly believer's life, even if they are in difficult circumstances.
Jesus said: Matt 5:3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
