Lesson 16B – Matthew 5–7
(cont.)
Consider
Sermon on the Mount
• Christ used imagery to teach principles
• Each table will have a set of verses with a metaphor.
• Figure out what the principle is, then come up with a
modern version of the metaphor
• Example: Matthew 6:25-29
– “Consider the lillies”
– Don’t worry so much about earthly things, the Lord will provide
– “Consider the zebra”
