RE
LO – To develop an understanding of the Beatitudes 

Matthew’s Gospel collects Jesus’ teaching together in what is called the Sermon on the Mount. Matthew’s Jewish readers would remember how Moses brought God’s law (rules) to the people.  Matthew wants his readers to recognise Jesus as the new Moses, calling people to a new way of living.  (Jesus went up the mountain and sat town and taught the people.)

The Beatitudes are eight blessings recounted by Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount in the Gospel of Matthew. Read the information on the PowerPoint below.

Now answer the following questions:

1. Which Beatitude do you like best and why?
2. In what way are the Beatitudes different from the Ten Commandments?
3. How does Jesus want us to live? 
4. How will we be rewarded for living in this way? 

Then I want you to take each Beatitude and write a modern translation which explains what it means. Then draw a symbol that represents that Beatitude. I have attached a worksheet below if you want to type into it and sent it to me. If you don’t have a laptop to work on, write it out in your book.
