BIBLE STUDY WEEK # 3 (ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS)

1.  In order for the people to receive, Jesus did what?

Jesus taught them the Word of God, taught them to believe that by faith you can say with your mouth, believe in your heart, and you will receive whatsoever you need. 

2.  What was the teaching of the Beatitudes? 

The teachings of Jesus called the Beatitudes, recorded in the gospels of Matthew (5:1-10) and Luke (6:20-23), are an invitation to a way of living that brings true happiness and both inward and outward peace. The beatitudes call us to a radically new way of being when we center our lives on God, and we become transformed. The beatitudes call us to true happiness and the deepest of joy as we find our true identity in our relationship with God and true peace both inwardly and outwardly.

 3.  When Jesus taught, He taught with what? 

Mark 1:21-28  "21 And they went into Capernaum; and immediately on the Sabbath he entered the synagogue and taught. 22 And they were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as one who had authority, and not as the scribes. 23 And immediately there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; 24 and he cried out, "What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are, the Holy One of God." 25 But Jesus rebuked him, saying, "Be silent, and come out of him!" 26 And the unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying with a loud voice, came out of him. 27 And they were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, "What is this? A new teaching! With authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him." 28 And at once his fame spread everywhere throughout all the surrounding region of Galilee."

4.  Jesus told His disciples to pray for those who did what to us?

But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, (Matthew 5:44) 

5.  The commandment, precepts, judgment of Jesus is what?

The Law of God! The Law of God is like a mirror. For example, if I was to go outside and roll around in a mud puddle, when I come back into the house and stand before a mirror, can I say to the mirror, make me clean? No, the mirror cannot do that. It can only tell me I need to be cleansed by reflecting my filth before my eyes. In the same way, when we look at the Ten Commandments and realize we have broken many of the Laws, the Law tells us we are in need of a cleansing. But, mankind cannot cleanse himself or even stop sinning for that matter. All the Law can do is warn us, we need a Saviour! 

Now do you see why Satan attacks the Law of God? It points to His biggest threat! JESUS CHRIST! The devil knows that if people today look at the Lawof God it will CONVERT them into obeying God. Psalms 19:7 says, "The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple."

 

6.  What do we call the prayer Jesus taught His disciples? 
The Lord's Prayer

 

7.  What did Jesus tell His disciples to do if they loved Him? 

So when they had eaten breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of Jonah,^[b] do you love Me more than these?" He said to Him, "Yes, Lord; You know that I love You." He said to him, "Feed My lambs." He said to him again a second time, "Simon, son of Jonah,  do you love Me?" He said to Him, "Yes, Lord; You know that I love You."He said to him, "Tend My sheep." He said to him the third time, "Simon, son of Jonah,^[d] do you love Me?" Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, "Do you love Me?" And he said to Him, "Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You." Jesus said to him, "Feed My sheep.

 
8.  How old was Jesus when He started to teaching?

 

Officially, he was twelve years old, but it's taught today as been thirty years old. Read Luke 2:46-47, and it will tell you that Jesus was so educated that He was really teaching the doctor in religious instructions. Quoted, "The trained doctors are amazed at the wisdom of one a fraction of their age. In this story, Jesus shows a pattern that would show up throughout his earthly ministry. He hears them (v. 46), he questions them (v. 46), and he answers them (v. 47). The result: the ones being taught are astonished. This would happen the next time Jesus teaches (Luke 4:32)." If today's young people can preach at age seven, then our Lord Jesus Christ can teach and preach at age twelve, amen. I believe he was teaching them!
