It is at this location that it is believed Jesus sat down with his disciples and began to teach...Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be shown mercy. Blessed are the pure of heart, for they will see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Matt. 5: 3-10The natural acoustics are amazing here. The area is currently occupied and run by the Catholic Church-Carmolite Order. If you walk around the building that is sitting up on a perch, you look down into the valley below where crowds would have gathered. One of the preachers that was with us on the trip offered a short sermon lesson before we entered into the church itself. Standing across from the preacher is our guide Ido. He gave so much information to us at each location that it was hard to take notes, take pictures, and just take in the views!
