Then Jesus took his disciples up on the mountain and gathered them around Him. And He taught them, saying |
Blessed are the poor in spirit, |
Blessed are the meek, |
Blessed are the merciful, |
Blessed are you who thirst for righteousness, |
Blessed are you who are persecuted for my sake, |
Blessed are the peacemakers... |
And Simon Peter said, Do we have to write this stuff down? |
And Philip said, Will this be on the test? |
And John said, I'm sorry, would you mind repeating that? |
And Andrew said, John the Baptist's disciples don't have to learn this stuff! |
And Matthew said, Huh? |
And Judas said, ;What does this have to do with real life? |
Then, one of the Pharisees and expert in the law said, ;I don't see any of this in your syllabus. Do you have a lesson plan? Is there a summary? Where is the student guide? Will there be any follow-up assignments? Will you grade on a curve? |
And Thomas, who had missed the sermon, came to Jesus privately and said, ;Did we do anything important yesterday? |
And Jesus Wept. |
