C. Who Is a True Disciple? (The Beatitudes), 5:1-12
(5:1-12) Introduction: seldom in history have so few words been spoken with so much meaning. The Beatitudes of our Lord

hope and reward the believer can expect, now as well as in eternity.

2. The poor in spirit: shall be given the Kingdom of Heaven (v.3).
3. Those who mourn: shall be comforted (v.4).

(5:1-2) Compassion: Jesus saw the multitudes. It is to be noted that the Sermon on the Mount was given to the disciples
not to the multitudes. “Seeing the multitudes,” Jesus was moved with compassion over their desperate plight and need.
He knew that He could not reach them by Himself, so He was driven to get alone with His disciples. He had to begin prepar-
ing them for their ministry to the multitudes.
How long was He with His disciples on the mountain? A day? A week? Several weeks? It simply says that “when He had
come down from the mountain, multitudes followed Him” (Mt.8:1).
Thought 1. There are two basic ingredients for reaching the multitudes.
1) Compassion: seeing the multitudes; keeping one’s eyes open so people and their needs can be seen.
“But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they
fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd” (Mt.9:36).
“In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his
love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bare them, and carried them all the days of
old” (Is.63:9).
2) Discipleship: realizing that one cannot accomplish the task alone. Others must be taught to help in the
great commission.
“Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the
Son, and of the Holy Ghost: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded
you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world” (Mt.28:19-20).
“And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit
thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also” (2 Tim.2:2).
