BT.1*. When Sermon appears capitalized, this simply indicates we are referring to the Sermon on the Mount and not to some other discourse. Otherwise, no meaning is to be attached to that convention.
BT.2*. Beatitude stems from Latin beatitudinem (=state of blessedness) and is related to Latin beatus (=happy, blessed).
BT.3*. Poor. Scholars say the Greek word is basically the same term used to refer to the destitute as well as having been used by members of groups that held property in common.

John 17:16-26
16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.
BT.4i*. The Cost of Following Jesus
Matthew 14:25-27
BT.4ii*. 25 He turned to the huge crowds accompanying him and told them,
26 If any man comes to me, and hates not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple.
27 And whoever does not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
Matthew 8:19-22
BT.4iii*. 19 A scribe approached and said, "Master, I will follow you wherever you go."
20 "Even foxes have dens and birds have nests," Jesus replied. "But this particular man [lit. the son of man] is homeless."
21 Another man said, "Master, let me come back after I go home and bury my father."
22 "Come with me," Jesus said, "and let the dead bury their dead."
Luke 9:61-62
61 And another man said, "Lord, I will follow you; but let me first go back home and bid my family goodbye."
62 Jesus responded, "No man, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God."
BT.4iv*. The Value in Following Jesus
Matthew 11:28-30
28 Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily weighed down, and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and you shall find rest for your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

Romans 8:14-18
14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

1 Corinthians 10:13
13 You have not faced any inhuman type of temptation. Anyway, God is reliable and will not permit you to be tempted beyond what you can endure. Whatever the temptation, he always provides an escape route so that you need not collapse under that pressure.
BT.7*.
Exodus 34:30-35
And when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone; and they were afraid to come nigh him.
31 And Moses called unto them; and Aaron and all the rulers of the congregation returned unto him: and Moses talked with them.
32 And afterward all the children of Israel came nigh: and he gave them in commandment all that the Lord had spoken with him in mount Sinai.
33 And till Moses had done speaking with them, he put a vail on his face.
34 But when Moses went in before the Lord to speak with him, he took the vail off, until he came out. And he came out, and spake unto the children of Israel that which he was commanded.
35 And the children of Israel saw the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses' face shone: and Moses put the vail upon his face again, until he went in to speak with him.
BT.8*. We see here the blending of divinity and humanity in one human being, making Moses a "type" of Christ.

Isaiah 2:4
And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.Isaiah 9:6-7
6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.Philippians 4:6-7
7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.
6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
