Notes:
Matt 4:23-25
23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.
24 And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatick, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them.
It was just at this moment that Jesus healed all.
He doesn’t heal all the time as we know.
It doesn’t have anything to do with faith like some religious believe.
Luke 4:27 And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian.

2 Kings 13:14 “Now Elisha was fallen sick of his sickness whereof he died.”
Elisha was one of the greatness prophets that even lived.

John 5:5-15 (This man had no faith in Jesus)
Talks about a man who had been sick for 38years and Jesus ask him if he wanted to be healed?
The sick man said I can’t, because he couldn’t get to the water in time, his faith was in the water.
Jesus said rise up and walk and the man was healed right there on the spot, and he took up his bed and walked, the Jewish leaders were angry about that, and they wanted to know who told him that he could carry his bed, and the man said, and the verses showed that the man didn’t know who healed him.  

Phil 2:25-30 speaks about a brother in the Lord of Paul, who was sick, and in verse 27 “For indeed he was sick nigh unto death”.
Verse 30 “Because for the work of Christ he was nigh unto death, not regarding his life, to supply your lack of service toward me”.

25 And there followed him great multitudes of people from Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judaea, and from beyond Jordan.
They were following him because they were receiving healing; most of these people were lost, because when he was arrested, these same people were saying “kill him”.

If someone is handing out money to the people, you think he’s going to have a following?

You think with these miracles, people would believe?
People say: God show me a sign and I’ll believe, false.

Matt 12:38-39
38 Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.
39 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:

This is why I say all these people were not Christians, they were like their leaders.

You had to be at least 30 years old to be a religious leader, and you would have had to spend many years in intensive study of the scriptures.

And if they would have done this with their heart they would have recognizes Jesus when he came, because O.T. is all about Jesus.

Matt 5:1-11
1 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:
2 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,
Jesus is teaching to the believers, because it says that “the disciples came unto him” so these verses are for believers.
It was only the true believers who were going to understand and get the blessedness, which showed the perfect way of righteousness.

They did have lost people there; Jesus wanted them to a recognize that had sin in their lives showing them they needed a savior.

And it says “he taught them” 
These verses we are going to read are from the Lord, and he’s going to teach us what they mean.
3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
There is only one way we can follow the beatitudes and that’s by what he says in
Matt 22:37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
