In His "Sermon on the Mount", quoted in Matthew 5:1-11 from God's "New Covenant" with those who would Follow Him, Yeshua (Jesus/ Isa), the First Century Palestinian, shares with His first Disciples (Learners) what has become know since antiquity as "The Beatitudes", part of His "Sermon on the Mount". Yeshua's public talks always were directed primarily at His then and future Followers. Only secondarily did He intend what He was sharing for the thousands of people often listening in on His teachings. Huge crows always followed Yeshua because of His popularity as a Rabbi (Teacher) and the power of what He said. People at the time and since say his talks were inferior to those of anyone who had come to them before Him. (Matthew 7:28) No one who has come after Yeshua the Messiah has come close to his power and influence ...including Muhammad, Islam's principal Prophet. This will be attested to by anyone who actually reads what these two men said in both the Gospels and the Qur'an rather than believing what they are told by their religious leaders or family members. For His Followers, Jesus' words are a road map for their post-salvation lives as born-again people. What they meant to the crows you can discover in my Sticky note below. gfp (2011-10-24)
