- The
Ten Commandments - Blessed Are They!
-
The
Bible Says:
"Teach
them to obey everything I have commanded you. And you can be
sure that I am always with you, to the very end."
- Matthew
28:20
-
- Old Testament
- Ten Commandments
- New Testament
- Sermon on the Mount
-
- Commands and Blessings
-
- God has given us His laws,
The Ten Commandments, to help us in our Christian walk. The plans
He has for us are to bless us. On the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus
teaches the blessings that come when we do what God tells us
to do, but we must do them for the right reasons. Actions and
works will not bring salvation. God is far more concerned with
the condition of our hearts than our actions. First we must receive
Jesus as our Savior and Lord. His Holy Spirit comes to live in
us. Then we can enjoy the blessings of doing what God commands.
We do what is right because our hearts are turned to Him. We
can overcome sin because He gave us that victory in Jesus Christ.
-
- This study teaches the
Ten Commandments together with the "Blessed are they"
statements Jesus made on His sermon on the Mount. We need to
reinforce our need to obey the Ten Commandments. They are there
for our protection. But no as a basis for our salvation. Teaching
what makes us blessed seems to go hand and hand with the Laws.
I pray you will be creative in your teaching!

-
-
- From the 5th Chapter of
Deuteronomy
-
-
- The first three speak
of our relationship to God!
- 1. Do not put any other
God's in place of me.
- 2. Do not make statues
of gods...and do not worship them...I am a jealous God....
- 3. Do not misuse the name
of the Lord you God.
-
- The 4th and 5th speak
'to do' commands about our personal needs.
- 4 .Observe the Sabbath
day. Keep it holy...in honor of the Lord your God.
- 5. Honor your father and
mother...and things will go well with you.
- The last 5 are the 'not
to do' commands in our relationships with others.
-
- 6. Do not commit murder.
- 7. Do not commit adultery.
- 8. Do not steal.
- 9. Do not give false witness
against your neighbor.
- 10. Do not long for your
neighbor's wife...(or) anything that belongs to your neighbor.
-
- If you take the first
list to heart and do them as God has commanded, Jesus tells us
what will come from our obedience. First He tells us All of these
commandments are included in these two:
-
- Matt. 22:36-40 "Jesus
replied, "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and
with all your soul. Love him with all your mind.' This is the
first and most important commandment. And the second is like
it. 'Love your neighbor as you love yourself.' Everything that
is written in the Law and the Prophets is based on these two
commandments."
- Sermon on the
Mount - the Beatitudes - Blessed is He!
-
-
- From the 5th Chapter
of Matthew
-
-
- Blessed are those who
are spiritually needy.
- Blessed are those who
are sad.
- Blessed are those who
are free of pride.
- Blessed are those who
are hungry and thirsty for what is right.
- Blessed are those whose
hearts are pure.
- Blessed are those who
show mercy.
- Blessed are the peacemakers.
- Blessed are those who
suffer for doing what is right.
- Blessed are you when people
make fun of you and hurt you because of me....
-
-
- "Then the King will
speak to those on his right. He will say, 'My father has blessed
you. Come and take what is yours. It is the kingdom prepared
for you since the world was created."Matthew 25:34
-
- "I tell you, you
will not see me again until you say, 'Blessed is the one who
comes in the name of the Lord.'" Matthew 23:39
-
- People sometimes do not
see all the 'if', 'but' and 'however' statements in the Word
of God. We have blessings for our obedience and we have consequences
for our disobedience. God loves us and is the same Yesterday,
Today and Tomorrow!
-
- I have found it very difficult
to teach the 'Ten Commandments' and even the 'Blessed Are They'
lessons without giving an appearance of legalistic attitudes.
I assure you that my heart is not connected to a works mentality.
Children need to learn right actions. God gave us His boundaries
book for our good. Right attitudes and actions come when we become
totally devoted unto Him, in full agreement with His Word!
-
- Please emphasize the relationship
God desires to have with us to the children as you go through
this study. He wants us to love Him as unconditionally as He
loves us!
