Session 10 - Matthew 5:1-31

from Catholic Doctrine Bible Study Hosted by Jim Hawk

Key Points: “Poor in spirit” are those who realize they don’t have all the answers and they need God’s guidance. WE are to be “salt and light” to the world- - we should be influencing our culture instead of being influenced by the attitudes of the world.

(5:22, 29, 30) (Don’t cut your hand off!) Jesus holds the moral bar quite high! None of us can reach it on our own! But, he provides us His death on the cross as payment for our sins, grace to change, and the Sacrament of Reconciliation when we fail. We must do a frequent examination of conscience.
