Preaching Christ

You will learn:

- What did Christ teach

- What is the Sermon on the Mount

- What treasure cannot be stolen

Christians follow the teachings of Jesus Christ. Despite the fact that the words of Christ were spoken almost 2,000 years ago, they are important for a person at any time.

ABOUT REVENGE

You were offended, hit, called - this happens often. How to proceed? Give back, get revenge?

And Christ taught: “Do not resist the evil one. But whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also. Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you. " Very few people have been able to live their lives according to this counsel of Christ. But if these few people were not there, if everyone always avenged themselves, our world would become less human.

If you answer evil for evil, evil will grow. So that all life does not turn into a war of all against all, someone must courageously refuse to defend their petty interests, stop accumulating grievances. It is the refusal to take revenge that limits the growth of evil. Therefore, even martial artists say that "The best fight is the one that was avoided!"

The world in the time of Christ glorified victorious emperors and great warriors. Christ revealed to man the riches of his inner world. He said: "What is the use of a man if he gains the whole world, but damages his soul?"

You can crush everyone by moving to the pinnacle of power. The whole world will be afraid of such a "hero". But there, at the top, he will be very cold because he is surrounded only by fear and hatred. Better that few people know about you and love you than the whole world will be afraid of you.

ABOUT WEALTH

Christ did not advise seeing the goal of life in enrichment: "Do not lay up treasures for yourself on earth, but lay up treasures for yourself in Heaven, where moth does not destroy and where thieves do not steal, for where your treasure is, there your heart will also be."

“Treasures in Heaven” is good that man has done, but which God forever remembers. Such a treasure cannot be stolen. Your money or your phone can be stolen. But the good deed you have done will forever remain yours.

The Gospel associates spiritual treasures with “Heaven” because God does not allow the soul to disappear. Even if the body that the soul ruled has ended its life, the soul remains. But she brings her "wealth" (good and bad) to Heaven - before the face of God.

Earthly riches and joy are not the same thing. If a person is seriously ill, no amount of wealth will bring him joy.

Christ taught like no one before Him: “Look at the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; but I tell you that King Solomon, in all his glory, did not dress like any of them! Do not say: what do we have? or what to drink? or what to wear? Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all this will be added to you. Do not worry about tomorrow: every day has enough of its own concern. "

Anyone who understands these words as permission to do nothing, not work, not study will be wrong. It's just that sometimes caring about your tomorrow prevents you from acting humanly today. Like, if I stand up for the weak today, I can incur the wrath of someone big and strong. Such a person decides: so that I feel good tomorrow, I will live today according to the adage “my house is on the edge”.

This is false wisdom. For the sake of tomorrow's fears or hopes, you cannot refuse to fulfill your human duty today.

THE MOUNTAIN SERMON

These words were spoken by Christ in Sermon on the Mount... One day Christ ascended a small mountain so that people who came to Him could better hear His voice. Many were surprised at the deep meaning and beauty of the words spoken and became disciples of Christ. It was they who later recorded this sermon in the Gospel.

But Christ spoke to people not only about how they should relate to each other. He also spoke about the relationship between God and people. He called to each person: "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul and with all thy mind."

He said that, having fallen in love with God, the soul can become akin to Him already here on earth: "The Kingdom of God is within you." Christ gave people the joyous experience of God. Grace, the Holy Spirit in the Gospel is called the Comforter, that is, one who brings comfort and joy even in trouble. The Comforter, according to the word of Christ, “will abide with you forever,” that is, during the life of the apostles and in all subsequent centuries of earthly history, but, in addition, and beyond its limit, that is, in Divine eternity. This Comforter “the world does not see and does not know; and you know Him, for He will be in you. " This is not about a book or a premise, but about an inner change in a person. If it happened, then, according to the word of Christ, death, touching the body, will not touch the soul: "He who believes in Me will not see death forever."

CHRIST'S COVENANT

Earlier, religious preachers talked about what sacrifices people should make to God or gods. And the New Testament said about what kind of sacrifice God Himself brings to people and for the sake of people. Christ did not just talk about such a sacrifice, He Himself became this sacrifice.

Christ said that God loves people and He Himself became a man in order to be with them. God Who Becomes Man - This Is Jesus Christ... He said that he came into the world not to subjugate and punish people, but to serve people.

Some people considered it an insult to their faith in God. In their opinion, God could not perform such a miracle and become so close to people. They declared Christ a criminal and began to seek His execution. Christ did not shy away from judgment.

1 Lesson “The Sermon of Christ” Slide 1. The title of the lesson You will learn - What Christ taught - What is the Sermon on the Mount - What treasure cannot be stolen Despite the fact that the words of Christ were spoken almost 2000 years ago, they are important for a person at any time. ABOUT REVENGE Slide 2. Revenge You were offended, hit, called - this happens often. How to proceed? Give back, get revenge? (on click - revenge) What do you think the word "revenge" means. (on click) Revenge revenge place - remove, return to place, sweep, throw, reimburse. Those. you offended you "returned" the offense, called "returned" the offensive word, hit "returned" the blow It seems that everything is fair. But is it really so? What game do you think revenge is like? Slide 3. Revenge To throw the ball. Think of quarreling people who throw accusations at each other (at the click of a quarrel). Only they no longer throw the ball to each other, but evil words. Evil is like mud, dark and sticky. The one who throws and the one who is thrown is stained. Like playing a dirty ball. And just as the dirt from the ball stains our hands, clothes, face, so evil outwardly reflects on our faces with an unpleasant expression (on click, evil faces). And internally, a person turns to stone, becomes more and more insensitive. But where do we get evil words to throw them to another? From my own heart. Slide 4. Heart Where is evil in the heart? We grow it there ourselves. (on click of heart-garden) The heart is like a garden. It is often said that the heart is the garden of the soul. What we grow up is what we get. If the garden is well-groomed, then it gives us a rich harvest (at the click of a blooming garden). And if the garden is abandoned (abandoned garden on click)?

2 This is our heart also. If we follow him, his actions, then the heart becomes kind, pure and soft (at the click of a kind heart). Light and joy emanate from a person with such a heart. And if we allow evil to settle in the heart, then it becomes dark, overgrown with thorns and turns to stone (at the click of an evil heart). It is uncomfortable, cold and scary next to such a heart. How can you avoid the fossilization of the heart? Slide 5. The Sermon of Christ (Henryk Olrick. "Sermon on the Mount" from the Church of St. Matthew in Copenhagen). And this is what Jesus Christ taught in his sermons: “Do not resist the evil one. But whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also. Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you. " Very few people have been able to live their lives according to this counsel of Christ. But if these few people were not there, if everyone always avenged themselves, our world would become less human. If evil responds to evil, evil will grow. So that all life does not turn into a war of all against all, someone must courageously refuse to defend their petty interests, stop accumulating grievances. It is the refusal to take revenge that limits the growth of evil. Therefore, even martial artists say that "The best fight is the one that was avoided!" Slide 6. Resentment in the heart is a weed. How so, you ask? Our grievances are the seeds of evil. Getting into the heart and, not meeting resistance, offense, like a weed, begins to grow very quickly, bloom and scatter further the seeds of evil. Therefore, all grievances must be immediately pulled out of the heart (at the click of a pure heart). It is necessary to sow the seeds of love and goodness in the heart, take care of them and protect them from the weeds of evil (at the click of the guard). And for this we have been given a mind. And we must keep him in sobriety, not let evil feelings take over our hearts. And a kind pure heart will enlighten our mind. Slide 7. Mind and heart. As in a wish to his friends, the famous poet Samuil Yakovlevich Marshak said: Let your mind be kind, And your heart be smart. Slide 8. Botkin M.P. Conversation of Christ with the disciples. The world in the time of Christ glorified victorious emperors and great warriors. Christ revealed to man his wealth

3 inner worlds. He said: "What is the use of a man if he gains the whole world, but damages his soul?" Slide 9. Love or loneliness. You can crush everyone by moving to the pinnacle of power. The whole world will be afraid of such a "hero". But there, at the top, he will be very cold because he is surrounded only by fear and hatred. Better that few people know about you and love you than the whole world will be afraid of you. Slide 10. Select statements with which you agree. Explain your position. - A thin world is better than a good quarrel. - If you feel sorry for everyone, no health will be enough. - Only weak people take revenge, the strong know how to forgive. ABOUT WEALTH Slide 11. Christ and the rich youth. Christ did not advise seeing the goal of life in enrichment: "Do not lay up treasures for yourself on earth, but lay up treasures for yourself in Heaven, where moth does not destroy and where thieves do not steal, for where your treasure is, there your heart will also be." Slide 12. Heart and earthly wealth. “Treasures in Heaven” is good that man has done, but which God forever remembers. Such a treasure cannot be stolen or lost. It will not deteriorate, it will not break. Money or your phone can be stolen from you. Clothes may tear, the house will collapse. But the good deed you have done will forever remain yours. Therefore, things should not overshadow your neighbor in your heart, a person dearer than anything else in the world. Slide 13. Soul and Judgment. The Gospel associates spiritual treasures with “Heaven” because God does not allow the soul to disappear. Even if the body that the soul ruled has ended its life, the soul remains. Wealth, success, glory will all remain in this world: wealth will go to others or decay, glory will fade. But she brings her "wealth" (good and bad deeds) to Heaven before the face of God. Slide 14. Wealth and joy (MV Nesterov. Sick girl). Earthly riches and joy are not the same thing. If a person is seriously ill, no amount of wealth will bring him joy. Slide 15. Field lily.

4 Christ taught like no one before Him: “Look at the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; but I tell you that King Solomon, in all his glory, did not dress like any of them! Do not say: what do we have? or what to drink? or what to wear? Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all this will be added to you. Do not worry about tomorrow: every day has enough of its own concern. " Slide 16. Indifference. Anyone who understands these words as permission to do nothing, not work, not study will be wrong. It's just that sometimes caring about your tomorrow prevents you from acting humanly today. Like, if I stand up for the weak today, I can incur the wrath of someone big and strong. Such a person decides: so that I feel good tomorrow, I will live today according to the adage “my house is on the edge”. This is false wisdom. For the sake of tomorrow's fears or hopes, you cannot refuse to fulfill your human duty today. Slide 17. Choose which treasures will never disappear: fame, faith, wealth, beauty, mercy, knowledge, health, success, modesty, strength. The Sermon on the Mount Slide 18. The Sermon on the Mount. Karl Heinrich Bloch. These words were spoken by Christ in the Sermon on the Mount. One day Christ ascended a small mountain so that people who came to Him could better hear His voice. Many were surprised at the deep meaning and beauty of the words spoken and became disciples of Christ. It was they who later recorded this sermon in the Gospel. Slide 19. Temple at the site of the Sermon on the Mount. Mount of Beatitudes. Shvets S.S. Sermon on the Mount. But Christ spoke to people not only about how they should relate to each other. He also spoke about the relationship between God and people. He called to each person: "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul and with all thy mind." Slide 20. Temple on the site of the Sermon on the Mount. Mount of Beatitudes. Basin V.P. Sermon on the Mount.

5 He said that, having fallen in love with God, the soul can become akin to Him already here on earth: "The Kingdom of God is within you." Christ gave people the joyous experience of God. Grace, the Holy Spirit in the Gospel is called the Comforter, that is, one who brings comfort and joy even in trouble. The Comforter, according to the word of Christ, “will abide with you forever,” that is, during the life of the apostles and in all subsequent centuries of earthly history, but, in addition, beyond its limits, that is, in Divine eternity. This Comforter “the world does not see and does not know; and you know Him, for He will be in you. " This is not about a book or a premise, but about an inner change in a person. If it happened, then, according to the word of Christ, death, touching the body, will not touch the soul: "He who believes in Me will not see death forever." THE COVENANT OF CHRIST Slide 21. Icon "Crucifixion", Dionysius, 1502 Lebedev K.V. The offering by the high priest of the Old Testament sacrifice. Earlier, religious preachers talked about what sacrifices people should make to God or gods. And the New Testament said about what kind of sacrifice God Himself brings to people and for the sake of people. Christ did not just talk about such a sacrifice, He Himself became this sacrifice. Slide 22. Polenov V.D. Christ and the sinner (Who is without sin among you). Christ said that God loves people and He Himself became a man in order to be with them. God who became man is Jesus Christ. He said that he came into the world not to subjugate and punish people, but to serve people. Slide 23. Glazunov I.I. Crucify Him. Some people considered it an insult to their faith in God. In their opinion, God could not perform such a miracle and become so close to people. They declared Christ a criminal and began to seek His execution. Christ did not shy away from judgment. Slide 24. Vasnetsov V.М. Crucified Jesus Christ. He taught not to choose wide Ways, extensive gates, Leading to destruction, to enter the shade of life by narrow gates And difficultly narrow ways; Do not condemn, do good, Take care of the mournful, the poor, Bless the enemies who swear And hate to love

6 Leo May, 1855 INTERCUT How the love of Christ healed people Slide 25. Healing the paralyzed in Capernaum. Julius Schnorr von Karolsfeld. Once, when Christ was teaching people, a paralyzed ("relaxed") person was brought to Him. But the house where Christ taught was overflowing with listeners. And even outside, at the windows and doors, there were so many people that it was impossible to carry a stretcher with the patient. Then the relaxed relatives climbed onto the roof of the house, dismantled the roof, and lowered a stretcher into the hole right at the feet of Christ. And He, seeing such their faith, said to the paralytic: “Child, your sins are forgiven you. Get up, take your bed and go to your house. " Slide 26. Healing the paralyzed in Capernaum. And then the previously immobile man got up, took the stretcher on which he was lying, and went to his house, glorifying God. Slide 27. Healing the paralyzed in Capernaum (icon). QUESTIONS and assignments: Slide 28. Sermon on the Mount. Engraving by Gustave Dore. 1. Why was the Sermon on the Mount of Jesus Christ so named? Slide Re-read the story of the Sermon on the Mount. What wealth do Orthodox Christians consider to be true and eternal? (what can melt an ice heart) Slide 30. Scheme. 3. What exactly in the world becomes more as a result of the perfect revenge: good or evil? Explain your answer (answers by clicking on the question). Slide 31. Cross. 4. A cross is depicted on Orthodox books. Christians wear a cross ("cross") on their chests. For Christians, is it a decoration, a talisman or a sign, a reminder? If a reminder, then what? (at the click of the Crucifixion. Nesterenko V.I.)

7 Slide 32. Apostle Paul. Shtan I.V. (The Apostle Paul voluntarily went to death; he was released to Judea, but he himself demanded the judgment of Caesar in order to get to Rome and be able to preach the teachings of Jesus Christ there). 5. Read the Apostle Paul's “hymn of love” (1 Corinthians, chapter 13) and tell me how love is manifested? Why does the apostle Paul call to “seek love” (strive to love)? (transition to hidden slide 33 by clicking on the "book" button) If I do not have love, then I am ringing copper. If I have the gift of prophecy, and I know all the secrets, and I have all knowledge and all faith, so that I can move mountains, but I do not have love, then I am nothing. And if I distribute all my possessions, but I have no love, it will be of no use to me. Love is longsuffering, merciful, love does not envy, love is not exalted, is not proud, does not rage, does not seek its own, does not get irritated, does not think of evil, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices in the truth; Covers everything, believes everything, hopes everything, endures everything. Love never ceases, although the prophecies will cease, And now these three abide: faith, hope, love; but love is the greatest of them. Reach for love.

What Christ Teached

What is the Sermon on the Mount

What treasure cannot be stolen

Christians follow the teachings of Jesus Christ. Despite the fact that the words of Christ were spoken almost 2,000 years ago, they are important for a person at any time.

You were offended, hit, called - this happens often. How to proceed? Give back, get revenge?

And Christ taught: “ Do not resist the evil. But whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also. Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you». Very few people have been able to live their lives according to this counsel of Christ. But if these few people were not there, if everyone always avenged themselves, our world would become less human.

If you answer evil for evil, evil will grow. So that all life does not turn into a war of all against all, someone must courageously refuse to defend their petty interests, stop accumulating grievances. It is the refusal to take revenge that limits the growth of evil. So even martial artists say that« The best fight is the one that was avoided!».

The world in the time of Christ glorified victorious emperors and great warriors. Christ revealed to man the riches of his inner world. He said:« What is the use of a person if he gains the whole world, but damages his soul?».

You can crush everyone by moving to the pinnacle of power. The whole world will be afraid of this"Hero". But there, at the top, he will be very cold because he is surrounded only by fear and hatred. Better that few people know about you and love you than the whole world will be afraid of you.

ABOUT WEALTH

Christ advised against seeing the purpose of life in enrichment:« Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, but lay up for yourselves treasures in Heaven, where moth does not destroy and where thieves do not steal, for where your treasure is, there your heart will also be.».

« Treasures in Heaven» - this is good that man has done, but which God forever remembers. Such a treasure cannot be stolen. Your money or your phone can be stolen. But the good deed you have done will forever remain yours.

Spiritual Treasures The Gospel Connects With"Sky" because God does not allow the soul to disappear. Even if the body that the soul ruled has ended its life, the soul remains. But their"Wealth" ( good and bad) she brings to Heaven - before the face of God.

Earthly riches and joy are not the same thing. If a person is seriously ill, no amount of wealth will bring him joy.

Christ taught like no one before Him:« Look at the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; but I tell you that King Solomon, in all his glory, did not dress like any of them! Do not say: what do we have? or what to drink? or what to wear? Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all this will be added to you. Don't worry about tomorrow: every day has enough of its own».

Anyone who understands these words as permission to do nothing, not work, not study will be wrong. It's just that sometimes caring about your tomorrow prevents you from acting humanly today. Like, if I stand up for the weak today, I can incur the wrath of someone big and strong. Such a person decides: so that tomorrow is good for me, I will live today according to the saying"My hut is on the edge."

This is false wisdom. For the sake of tomorrow's fears or hopes, you cannot refuse to fulfill your human duty today.

THE MOUNTAIN SERMON

These words were spoken by Christ in the Sermon on the Mount. One day Christ ascended a small mountain so that people who came to Him could better hear His voice. Many were surprised at the deep meaning and beauty of the words spoken and became disciples of Christ. It was they who later recorded this sermon in the Gospel.

But Christ spoke to people not only about how they should relate to each other. He also spoke about the relationship between God and people. He called to each person:« Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind».

He said that, having fallen in love with God, the soul can become akin to Him already here on earth:« The kingdom of God is within you». Christ gave people the joyous experience of God. Grace, the Holy Spirit in the Gospel is called the Comforter, that is, one who brings comfort and joy even in trouble. Comforter, according to the word of Christ,« will abide with you forever», that is, during the life of the apostles and in all subsequent centuries of earthly history, but, in addition, beyond its limits, that is, in Divine eternity. This Comforter« the world does not see and does not know; and you know Him, for He will be in you». This is not about a book or a premise, but about an inner change in a person. If it happened, then, according to the word of Christ, death, having touched the body, will not touch the soul:« Whoever believes in me will never see death».

CHRIST'S COVENANT

Earlier, religious preachers talked about what sacrifices people should make to God or gods. And the New Testament said about what kind of sacrifice God Himself brings to people and for the sake of people. Christ did not just talk about such a sacrifice, He Himself became this sacrifice.

Christ said that God loves people and He Himself became a man in order to be with them. God who became man is Jesus Christ. He said that he came into the world not to subjugate and punish people, but to serve people.

Some people considered it an insult to their faith in God. In their opinion, God could not perform such a miracle and become so close to people. They declared Christ a criminal and began to seek His execution. Christ did not shy away from judgment.

INTERCUT How Christ's Love Healed People

Once, when Christ was teaching people, they brought to Him a paralyzed man ("Relaxed") person. But the house where Christ taught was overflowing with listeners. And even outside, at the windows and doors, there were so many people that it was impossible to carry a stretcher with the patient. Then the relaxed relatives climbed onto the roof of the house, dismantled the roof, and lowered a stretcher into the hole right at the feet of Christ. And He, seeing such their faith, said to the paralytic:« child, your sins are forgiven you. Get up, take your bed and go to your house». And then the previously immobile man got up, took the stretcher on which he was lying, and went to his house, glorifying God.
