NT Lesson 6

Jesus’ call on His disciples to follow Him was much more extraordinary than may at first appear. Jesus lived His life as an itinerant rabbi traveling from place to place teaching in synagogues and in the outdoors. As His disciples traveled with Him they witnessed supernatural healings and listened to liberating teaching. Yet the life to which Jesus called them was neither glamorous nor rewarding according to what this world values. Therefore He pronounced His beatitudes or blessings upon those who weep, mourn, hunger, and are persecuted in this life. For the momentary trials they would endure in this life would be nothing compared to the glory they would be given in the kingdom to come. In this lecture, Dr. Sproul discusses Jesus’ inaugural address and public ministry.
