In this passage of God’s Word we see Jesus teaching people what life looks like when they actually follow Him. This comes directly after He calls His disciples and heals a bunch of people. On the surface, it looks as if Jesus is teaching them the “basics” of Christian living, but these principles that He teaches them are profound in many ways. Broadly speaking, He teaches them 3 practical guidelines of what it looks like to follow Him:
1.Value what God values, not what the world values
2.Let God’s love rule the way you interact with everyone
3.Turn your heart towards God and allow His Word to affect your life

Reflection Questions
1. As we talked about what we took a look at how Jesus combated the common value system of that day, did feel like any of your values contradict God’s values?
2. Jesus spoke about loving your enemies and not judging others. How well do you do that? Do you struggle with controlling your thought life?
3. In the last part of Jesus’ message, He talked about the importance of not only hearing what He had to say, but actually doing what He says to do. How can you practically turn your heart closer to God and allow His Word to better affect your life? Who can keep you accountable to that?
