Hey Bible readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble and I'm your host for the Bible Recap. This three chapter section is called The Sermon on the Mount and it's the most famous sermon Jesus preached. It is meaty. I'm not going to recap every detail. I'm just going to lean into some things that might help with grasping deeper meanings or themes. Let's
get to it. Jesus sits down on the rolling hillside around the Sea of Galilee, surrounded by his disciples, teaches them what life in the upside-down kingdom of God looks like. The launching point of the sermon is a list of eight blessings granted to God's people,
except much of what he says doesn't sound like blessing at all. Lots of scholars believe these eight beatitudes at the start of chapter 5 are actually not just a list, they're cumulative, like a building he's constructing, and that this first blessing is the foundation of everything else he says in the sermon.
That was the opening. The rest of the episode (10 min) is in the player: every word clickable, with translation, saved words and flashcards.
