-How does this video relate to The Beatitudes?
This video relates to the Beatitudes because it tells you the Beatitudes Jesus taught to the people.
-Do you interpret The Beatitudes the same way as they are portrayed in the video?
Yes, I do. I agree with the way they interpreted the Beatitudes. I think it is an accurate portrayal of them.
-Where is Jesus when he preaches about The Beatitudes?
The exact location is unknown, but some people think Jesus preached on Mt. Eremos.
- How are Luke and Matthew's list of Beatitudes the same and different?
Matthew thought "poor" as in "poor in Spirit" while Luke thought "poor" as in needy. I think Jesus meant both meanings of poor - physical and spiritual.
- Which Beatitude do you think is the most important and why?
I couldn't decided between:
•Blessed are the pure of heart; for they will see God.,
•Blessed are the peacemakers; for they will be called the sons of God.
And
•Blessed are the poor; for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
This video relates to the Beatitudes because it tells you about the Beatitudes and what they mean. I do not interpret the Beatitudes the same way as in the video because everyone interprets things different, but I interpreted them pretty much the same way. Jesus is on a hill when he preaches about the Beatitudes. Luke and Matthews Beatitudes are different and the same in a couple ways. Matthews Beatitudes are longer than Lukes. But they all have the condition and result involved. In my opinion the most important Beatitude is Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh. I think that one is important because you cannot be sad forever. Everything gets better and you will laugh even if you cry.
1.How does this video relate to The Beatitudes?
This video relates to the Beatitudes because it tells you what the Beatitudes are and what they mean.
2.Do you interpret The Beatitudes the same way as they are portrayed in the video?
Yes, I interpret the Beatitudes the same way that they are portrayed. I think that the way they are portrayed is an easy way to understand them. Plus, the explanations make sense.
3.Where is Jesus when he preaches about The Beatitudes?
Jesus was on a hill when he preached about the Beatitudes.
4.How are Luke and Matthew's list of Beatitudes the same and different?
Luke’s and Matthew’s lists of the Beatitudes are same since they both have 8 Beatitudes. They are different since Matthew’s all start with BLESSED ARE THEY and Luke’s start with BLESSED ARE YOU and WOE TO YOU. They are similar since they say FOR after the first part.
5.Which Beatitude do you think is the most important and why?
I think the Beatitude: Blessed are the merciful for they will be shown mercy is most important because God is merciful towards us since he forgives our wrong doings. If you don’t show mercy, you aren’t following God and you aren’t being a very good person.
