The Kingdom of God: The Good Life
The Kingdom of God: The Good Life
Read Matthew 5:1-16. 1.
How does Jesus describe the “good life” in this passage? How does the world/culture we live in define the”good life”?
In verses 3-12, is Jesus giving instructions for the good life or sharing conditions on who has it? Why is this distinction important to understand?
How does Jesus embody every condition himself? How does this show us the good news of the gospel?
Are there any conditions in this section that describe you? How does Jesus’ declarations of His kingdom belonging to you, bring you encouragement?
Jesus says that being salt and light flows from being the kind people who are in His kingdom. Why is that? What is the purpose of being “salt” and “light” in the world?
What vision of the good life are you pursuing?
