In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus presents the Beatitudes and the Lord's Prayer. Identify the underlying principle that links these two sections, and illustrate the link with two specific examples taken from each section.
Answer Options
A.
The underlying principle is the promise of future reward. The Beatitude \"Blessed are the meek\" links to the petition for daily bread as a provision for the humble, and the Beatitude \"Blessed are the merciful\" connects to the petition for forgiveness of sins. These illustrate that the Beatitudes forecast the blessings requested in the prayer.
B.
The linking principle is the call to personal holiness. For instance, the Beatitude \"Blessed are the pure in heart\" corresponds to the prayer petition for forgiveness, and the Beatitude \"Blessed are those who mourn\" matches the petition for deliverance from evil. Both pairs show that inner purity drives the prayer content.
C.
The principle connecting them is the theme of repentance. The Beatitude \"Blessed are the poor in spirit\" is paired with the petition \"Our Father who art in heaven\" to show humility before God, and the Beatitude \"Blessed are the pure in heart\" links to the petition \"Give us this day our daily bread\" to stress moral cleansing. Both demonstrate repentance as the basis for prayer.
Correct Answer
D.
The underlying principle is the Kingdom ethic of dependence on God. For example, the Beatitude "Blessed are the poor in spirit" links to the prayer petition for daily bread, and the Beatitude "Blessed are the peacemakers" links to the petition "Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven". Both pairs illustrate that the character described in the Beatitudes is the attitude required in the Lord's Prayer.
