1285. Chapter 3, on the New Testament -- Matthew chapters 5 through 8, the Sermon on the Mount.
Today, after an enjoyable week in which I got to see 2 small great granddaughters I had never seen before -- I will write on the Sermon on the Mount, Matthew 5 -- 7. In April of 2018 I had the privilege of being on a tour group to Israel, and the surrounding areas. I took a picture of the grassy area thought to be the place where Jesus gave the Sermon on the Mount, close to the sea of Galilee. A beautiful meadow thought to be where the Sermon on the Mount was given. This was taken of me, as we were on a boat on the Sea of Galilee. Chapter 3, in the New Testament Student Manual: President Thomas S. Monson spoke of the Sermon on the Mount and the Galilean hillside where it took place: “Here it was that the greatest person who ever lived delivered the greatest sermon ever given—the Sermon on the Mount”. I had the privilege of going to Israel and being on a hillside where they think the Sermon took place. The Sermon on the Mount begins with the Beatitudes. Pres. Harold B. Lee s
