Day 1 – BLESS YOU

Read Matthew 5:1-12
Write down all the blessings that Jesus gives.
How can you apply these to your life?

Day 2 – SALTY LIGHT

Read Matthew 5:13-16
What does salt do for food?
Salt can only lose its flavor by impurities being added to it. What does that mean to your salty witness?
How can you live your life in a way that makes following Jesus look “appetizing” to others?
Why does God want your light to shine?

Day 3 – THIS IS MY WAY – JESUS

Read Matthew 5:17-48
Write down all the things that Jesus says to do.
How can you apply them to your life?

I PROMISE YOU

Look back at Matthew 5:1-12. This passage describes the different characteristics of a believer. Look closely at Matthew 5:3. Those who are poor in spirit receive the “Kingdom of Heaven.” This is describing a new Christian. You can’t choose to follow Christ unless you realize that you are a sinner and need Him. Skip down to Matthew 5:10. A person has a strong faith in Jesus if they are able to endure being persecuted for their belief. Did you notice what they receive? The strongest Christian receives the same blessing as the new Christian. Your salvation has nothing to do with what you have done. It has everything to do with what Christ has done.

Day 4 – ETERNAL REWARD

Write down how we are supposed to give and pray.
Why do you think Jesus wants us to give without seeking a reward?
If you are giving to get something, are you giving with the right heart?
What do you learn from Jesus’ prayer?
How can you apply it to your prayers?
