3 LIFE POINT Jesus teaches His followers to keep a good attitude at all times. Good Attitudes BIBLE PASSAGE Matthew 5:1-12 CHRIST FOCUS God is for us. When we trust Jesus as Lord and Savior, we have peace with God. God works everything out for our good. God changes us to become like Jesus. LIFE ACTION When you face a problem this week, ask yourself how that problem might help you be more like Jesus. LIFE VERSE Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up. James 4:10 (KJV) Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will exalt you. James 4:10 (HCSB) LEADER BIBLE STUDY One popular professional football player is currently being hailed by Christians as a positive role model for kids. Any sports figure s standing as a moral example is commendable. We pray that more of them will speak up for Christ. Nonetheless, the greatest role model of all, of course, was Jesus. This unit will examine Jesus example when he faced life s various situations. We start early in Jesus ministry. Matthew tells how Jesus went to a hilltop to teach His disciples about the kingdom of God. We call this section of the Book of Matthew (chapters 5 7) the Sermon on the Mount. The first portion, Matthew 5:3-12, is known traditionally as the Beatitudes. (The word beatitude simply means blessedness. ) In this section, Jesus outlined nine important personal characteristics of His followers and the blessings promised by each one. Key qualities He spotlighted include humility, caring for other people, courage in the face of opposition, and total dependence on God in all things. How do the promises in verses 3 and 10 resemble each other? Do they differ from the others? What is meant by the kingdom of heaven? Soon after Jesus delivered this sermon, He selected and commissioned twelve men to be His closest disciples (Matthew 10:1-4). He charged them to carry His message and equipped them to minister in His name. In what ways does God call us, star athletes or not, to be role models in the world today? CONNECT TO FAMILY This week families will learn about attitudes. Just as you are teaching kids that they can have attitudes like Jesus attitudes, students and adults are learning that life is not always going to be easy. In the good times and bad times, we all can have joyful attitudes of trust and surrender. LEVEL OF BIBLICAL LEARNING Jesus 8 SeSSion 1 DATE OF USE

4 BIBLE STORY Jesus Taught About attitudes Jesus chose twelve special helpers, called disciples. Jesus went to a mountain. His disciples sat near Him. A large crowd of people gathered nearby. Jesus talked about how God wants His followers to live and what it means to be truly blessed (happy). He said, People who are poor in spirit will be blessed. They know that they need God s help for everything! People who are sad when others are sad will be blessed. God will comfort them. Jesus continued, People who are gentle are blessed. Those who have a hunger to be good like God are also blessed. People who show mercy (love and care for others) are blessed. God will show mercy to them. People whose thoughts and attitudes are pure are blessed. Peacemakers (people who take action to help others get along) are blessed. Jesus finished by saying, People who suffer because they follow Me are blessed. Their reward in heaven will be great. based on Matthew 5:1-12 Image Credit: thinkstock Bible Studies for Life grades 1 3 & 4 6 9
