Caption transcript for Sar Shalom (2021): “Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5:1–16)” (1/8)
- 00:04 ♪♪♪ male announcer: Welcome to "Our Jewish Roots,"
- 00:06 with insightful Bible teaching from Israel by Dr. Jeffrey Seif.
- 00:10 This week, we examine the principal teachings of Jesus on
- 00:13 our new series, "Sar Shalom: Prince of Peace."
- 00:19 ♪♪♪
- 01:17 David: We're so glad you've joined us today.
- 01:18 I am David Hart.
- 01:20 Kirsten Hart: I'm Kirsten Hart.
- 01:21 Jeffrey Seif: Jeffrey Seif here, and thrilled, thrilled to talk
- 01:24 to you about "Sar Shalom," Hebrew Prince of Peace.
- 01:30 Peace is in very high demand but very short supply
- 01:34 these days, yes?
- 01:36 David: I knew the Hebrew word for peace but I did not know
- 01:38 the Hebrew word for prince.
- 01:41 We now know "sar" is prince.
- 01:43 Jeffrey: People know the word for peace, they just don't know
- 01:45 peace, and it's important to know peace.
- 01:51 And to know in Hebrew, here's another one, "yada," "I know,"
- 01:55 from the Hebrew word "yad" which means hand.
- 01:59 Peace needs to be experienced, not just defined.
- 02:03 And the Lord came into the world to give us peace, yes?
- 02:07 David: I don't think it's a coincidence that this series is
- 02:09 happening with a lot of unrest, unpeace, I guess you could say,
- 02:13 but it's gonna be a great series.
- 02:15 Jeffrey: Yes, the lack thereof is ubiquitous in the world,
- 02:17 it's everywhere, but the story's timeless, it really is,
- 02:21 and very necessary for today.
- 02:24 David: Yes, right now let's go up to the Galilee as we begin
- 02:26 "Sar Shalom."
- 02:31 narrator: "And Jesus went about all Galilee teaching in their
- 02:34 synagogues and preaching the gospel of the kingdom.
- 02:38 Seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain and his
- 02:43 disciples came unto him and he taught them, saying,
- 02:48 '[speaking foreign language]'."
- 04:02 Jeffrey: His name is Yeshua.
- 04:05 It's a Hebrew name that comes from a Hebrew verb meaning to
- 04:07 save, to deliver, or to redeem.
- 04:11 And if there ever was a person who lived up to their name,
- 04:15 this was that person.
- 04:19 Word of his doing just that, helping, healing, making whole,
- 04:23 delivering, word of all that went out in advance of him,
- 04:27 with the net result that thousands thronged to him.
- 04:32 Matthew tells us in chapter 4, verses 23 through 5,
- 04:36 that they came.
- 04:38 People heard that he healed and they were despairing.
- 04:41 They were vexed, perplexed, they needed some help and they heard
- 04:44 that he delivered, and he did deliver.
- 04:48 Not just words, but deeds, but because he was kindly disposed
- 04:52 toward them, because they benefited by virtue of their
- 04:55 brief association with them, they were a mind to come to this
- 05:00 place and hear what he had to say.
- 05:04 And what is this place?
- 05:07 Well, there's the Galilee on one side, the mount where the
- 05:10 so-called Sermon of the Mount was transacted on the other.
- 05:14 Personally, the term, "Sermon on the Mount" doesn't abide with
- 05:17 me, in part because it just sounds so boring, like, "Sermon
- 05:21 on the Mount" as if Jesus is there, lecturing people.
- 05:25 Actually, I prefer "Torah from the Top."
- 05:29 And the word "Torah" is a Hebrew word for teaching.
- 05:34 There, Yeshua went up to the mountain and he opened his mouth
- 05:37 and I think we'd do well to begin to consider exactly what
- 05:39 he had to say.
- 05:42 Let me ask you a question.
- 05:44 Inasmuch as Yeshua, Jesus, opened up his mouth to speak to
- 05:47 them, can you be at a place in your life, yes, your very, very,
- 05:53 very busy life, where you can open up your heart to listen, to
- 05:59 listen deeply, not to me, but to what the Lord might be saying to
- 06:04 you as you examine with me the essence and the substance of
- 06:10 what it means to be authentically Christian or
- 06:14 Christ-like in this world?
- 06:18 The reason why I say that is because churches can and do, and
- 06:22 understandably so, develop various creeds but here we hear
- 06:27 from the boss himself about what it means to be Christian.
- 06:31 I've often said that if you were on an ocean liner and you just
- 06:34 opened up the Bible and cut out Matthew chapter 5, 6, and 7,
- 06:38 stuffed it in a bottle, put a cork on it and threw it
- 06:41 overboard, and if someone on some desert island somewhere who
- 06:45 was marooned on a beach saw this bottle sweep onto the shore and
- 06:49 opened it up, and if they read it, if they knew nothing about
- 06:53 Jesus beforehand, just by reading this so-called Sermon on
- 06:57 the Mount and coming to terms with it, they could understand
- 07:00 what it means to be essentially a follower of Jesus.
- 07:06 It's an important story, this so-called Sermon on the Mount.
- 07:10 I'm glad that you've opted to go on the journey with me, if for
- 07:13 about a half-hour, to begin to explore what Jesus said.
- 07:18 I honestly believe that you'll be better by virtue of so doing
- 07:22 and I wanna thank you for taking the time and investing the
- 07:25 energies to wanna sit down and hear what Jesus has to say as I
- 07:29 speak to you from this place, the place of the once-great
- 07:34 Sermon on the Mount.
- 07:38 ♪♪♪
- 07:41 narrator: "Blessed are the poor in spirit, blessed are the meek,
- 07:46 the merciful, the pure in heart."
- 07:52 On a bleak winter's day a helpless man sits at the city
- 07:57 gate, shivering in the bitter cold.
- 08:01 One by one, they pass him, this wretched soul, this outcast.
- 08:08 And then, from the shadows, steps one whose heart is pure
- 08:13 and whose cloak is warm.
- 08:19 "Rejoice and be glad for great is your reward in heaven."
- 08:26 ♪♪♪
- 08:32 Jeffrey: What did the Lord say when he opened up the Sermon
- 08:33 on the Mount?
- 08:35 He goes on record with, and I quote, "Blessed are the poor
- 08:37 in spirit, blessed are those who mourn, blessed are the meek."
- 08:43 I've asked myself on more than one occasion, "Pray tell, what's
- 08:47 the blessing in being all miserable?"
- 08:51 Well, first of all, by way of response, there's not a whole
- 08:55 lot of blessing in being miserable.
- 08:57 The point here is that what we can be blessed about is the fact
- 09:00 that the poor are going to be rewarded, the meek are going
- 09:04 to inherit.
- 09:06 The point is we can be blessed because there's a blessing
- 09:09 that's coming because if we come God's way, he comes our way.
- 09:13 He delivers us, he helps us.
- 09:16 He lifts people up out of dire straits.
- 09:19 And it's for that reason that we can be blessed.
- 09:23 That's Jesus' point, if I understand him correctly.
- 09:27 I think the word "blessed" by the way, can somewhat obscure
- 09:29 the point.
- 09:32 The reason why I say that is the "blessed" expression in the
- 09:35 English Bible comes by way of the Greek "makarios," which
- 09:39 itself is better rendered from the Hebrew "ashreí" which means
- 09:43 not blessed in some religious sense, but it's the
- 09:46 word "happy."
- 09:48 Happy are the poor, happy are the disenfranchised.
- 09:51 Not because there's great happiness in being poor and
- 09:54 disenfranchised, but when we're born anew we're born of the Son,
- 09:58 we become a King's relative and there are blessings.
- 10:02 He's not gonna leave us just wrapped around the axle.
- 10:06 That's his point.
- 10:08 And, by the way, the point that Jesus makes in the opening here
- 10:11 in the Sermon on the Mount is very much akin to a point he
- 10:13 makes in Psalm chapter 1 which I'm gonna show you right now.
- 10:18 Jeffrey: "Blessed is the man," says the Psalmist, "who walks
- 10:21 not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor who stands
- 10:25 in the seat of the scornful; but his delight is in the law
- 10:28 of the Lord."
- 10:30 You might have heard that before.
- 10:32 In the Hebrew it begins like the Sermon on the Mount, "ashreí
- 10:36 ha-ish," "happy is the man" who walks with the Lord, who doesn't
- 10:41 associate with the unscrupulous.
- 10:44 And why can this person be happy?
- 10:47 Oh, hear this.
- 10:49 It is such a good word, especially for today.
- 10:52 The Psalmist says this person is like "a tree planted by rivers
- 10:55 of water, that brings forth fruit in its season."
- 10:59 He describes his well, that it takes roots deep
- 11:02 under the ground.
- 11:04 Above ground, there can be, you know, lack of rain, there can be
- 11:09 scorching heat, there can be difficulty but this man, whose
- 11:13 delight is in the Lord and his ways and his people, he is
- 11:16 connected to a source that gives him nourishment, even if it's
- 11:19 not available in the general environment.
- 11:23 The reason why I say that and the reason why I think the Lord
- 11:26 said this is because people can find themselves bested
- 11:30 by circumstances.
- 11:33 This surely was the case in Jesus' day and today as well.
- 11:36 Goodness, we inhabit a world that's wracked by all kinds
- 11:39 of problems.
- 11:41 That's the bad news.
- 11:44 But this is the good news, and the good news according to
- 11:47 Yeshua, Jesus, here on the Sermon on the Mount is that
- 11:50 God's got a good plan for you.
- 11:53 That's the word of the Psalms as well that if we walk with God,
- 11:55 if we take him seriously, then similarly, he is going to walk
- 11:59 with us and provide for us, difficulties in
- 12:02 life notwithstanding.
- 12:05 This is, in effect, the good news.
- 12:09 And by the way, the term "good news" in Hebrew, "bsowrah,"
- 12:15 sounds like a religious term, the good news.
- 12:17 Bsowrah comes from the Hebrew "basar" which means flesh.
- 12:22 That is to say, substance.
- 12:24 It's not just flowery rhetoric.
- 12:27 In the real world, according to the text, is a real God and he's
- 12:30 really interested in taking care of you.

- 14:07 Do you agree with that?
- 14:09 Kirsten: It is, the history of it, the story of Jesus himself
- 14:12 walking around the Sea of Galilee, and it's just
- 14:15 spectacularly gorgeous and we get to go two times a year.
- 14:20 I tell you, Israel is open.
- 14:23 We're there and we're bringing pilgrims to the Holy Land.
- 14:25 We'd love for you to go with us.

- 14:36 David: And swim, we love to swim in the Sea of Galilee.
- 14:39 Kirsten: We do, we get to swim in the Sea of Galilee, the
- 14:41 Dead Sea.
- 14:43 It--there's great swimming.
- 14:44 You get to experience the Holy Land, the food.
- 14:46 There's so much, we could go on and on.
- 14:47 David: Join us.
- 14:49 Kirsten: Now let's go back up to the Galilee for more
- 14:50 of today's teaching.
- 14:54 Jesus: [speaking foreign language]
- 15:09 You are the light of the world.
- 15:13 A lamp is not lit to be placed under a basket, but on
- 15:16 a lampstand.
- 15:19 And it gives light to all who are in the house.
- 15:23 Let your light so shine before men that they may see
- 15:27 your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.
- 15:37 Jeffrey: At the base of the Mount of Olives, there's
- 15:39 a garden called Gat Shemanim in Hebrew, Gethsemane.
- 15:44 You might recall Yeshua, Jesus, went there to pray and he sweat
- 15:48 blood that last night, that fateful night.
- 15:52 It's interesting, it seems to me that Shemen or oil is produced
- 15:57 by getting the olives together and putting them under pressure.
- 16:01 And this oil is extracted that's then used to make ohr
- 16:06 or in Hebrew, ohr is light.
- 16:10 Light factors in various ways in the New Testament story.
- 16:14 There were maidens that carry the light to pierce
- 16:16 the darkness.
- 16:19 In the passage that I wanna consider with you
- 16:21 in this segment, Jesus says to his talmidim, to his disciples,
- 16:24 quote, "You are the light of the world."
- 16:28 He doesn't just say that.
- 16:30 He says, "Similarly," in Matthew chapter 5, "that you are melach
- 16:33 haaretz," you are the salt of the earth.
- 16:37 What does the Lord mean when he tells the disciples that
- 16:41 they're light, that they're salt?
- 16:43 It's a reasonable question.
- 16:46 That this comes on the heels of Jesus talking about, "You're
- 16:49 gonna experience persecution, reviling, difficulties,
- 16:52 so forth, and so on."
- 16:54 It's not a very good story but to follow up and say,
- 16:57 "Listen, you're the light of the world."
- 17:00 It's an interesting juxtaposition of themes,
- 17:03 it seems to me.
- 17:05 And what I gather from it is that the suffering, the trials
- 17:08 that we can experience, produce something in us that enable
- 17:15 others to see something in us and thus to then have hope
- 17:20 and direction through us.
- 17:24 Why do I say that?
- 17:26 Well, I didn't say it.
- 17:27 John Wesley in his own way says: "If you set yourself on fire,
- 17:31 other people will come to see you burn."
- 17:34 I'm not a Buddhist monk opting for that kind of business
- 17:37 but the point is that if you're really going through the thick
- 17:41 of it and you keep your game face on, your virtue up, your
- 17:45 faith, hope, your love, even amidst the turbulence of trying
- 17:48 times, others are gonna come and take a deep look at you and say,
- 17:52 "What does that person have?
- 17:55 There's some worth that that person possesses."
- 18:00 The reason why I mention that and this is lost to moderns when
- 18:03 Jesus tells his disciples, "You were the salt of the earth,"
- 18:08 he's talking about worth.
- 18:10 The reason why I say that is the term for salt is where you get
- 18:15 the term "salary" from, though that's lost to moderns.
- 18:19 You ever hear the old expression, quote, "so and so is
- 18:22 worth their weight in salt"?
- 18:25 They used to divvy out payments to Roman soldiers in increments
- 18:27 of salt.
- 18:30 Again, that doesn't make sense to moderns but look it up
- 18:33 if you think I'm lying.
- 18:35 To say that you are the salt of the earth underscores that you
- 18:38 have a particular kind of worth, even if you feel worthless.
- 18:44 I mention that because you can go through all sorts of trials
- 18:47 and you're just spent through it all.
- 18:50 After describing that the disciples are going to be spent
- 18:53 accordingly for Jesus to follow and say, "Hey, listen,
- 18:56 you're the salt of the earth, you're the thing that preserves
- 18:59 and gives value, you're the light of the world,
- 19:03 that you give direction.
- 19:04 Others see hope and they see me through you."
- 19:09 Friends, here from the Galilee, let me encourage you to walk
- 19:12 with the Lord even through difficulties 'cause the Lord
- 19:16 has a way of working through it for his own good purposes,
- 19:20 for his own good pleasure.
- 19:24 David: Looked like such a beautiful day as Dr. Seif
- 19:26 was teaching on location and also the gorgeous backdrop
- 19:31 was just incredible, we love it.
- 19:33 Kirsten: Phenomenal place, but phenomenal teaching also.
- 19:36 Jeffrey: Well, you're kind to say it.
- 19:38 Phenomenal book.
- 19:40 You know, how do you mess this stuff up?
- 19:42 I mean, to be in Israel, to have an open Bible.
- 19:44 If you mess that up, you ought to be sued for malpractice.
- 19:46 It's easy and it's beautiful, like you said.
- 19:50 Kirsten: Something that you brought up and I love this.
- 19:52 You were saying that if believers who read this don't
- 19:56 understand the Jewishness of what Jesus is talking about, we
- 20:01 really don't get it.
- 20:03 Jeffrey: I liken it to this.
- 20:05 You can, you know, there's black and white TV and there's color.
- 20:08 And people can understand the Sermon on the Mount just 'cause
- 20:10 the Holy Spirit, of course, just opens it up, but there's
- 20:13 something about looking at it in its Jewish context,
- 20:17 understanding the idiom of the recovery of our Jewish roots,
- 20:21 I believe, I don't wanna sound self-serving in saying that,
- 20:25 I just believe there's something about that and it's value added.
- 20:29 David: I know you've been there many times where you taught.
- 20:32 I mean, it's where Jesus taught.
- 20:35 There's got to be something in you that just moves you
- 20:39 every time you're there.
- 20:41 Jeffrey: Yeah, I mean what really moved me to go
- 20:43 into the ministry was I had the opportunity to teach Sunday
- 20:45 School and I learned there was just something about opening up
- 20:48 the Bible that just really resonated and so I decided
- 20:52 to follow the dream, to follow the star, if you will.
- 20:56 And having the opportunity to go to Israel, I went there first
- 20:59 with Zola Levitt, the founder of this ministry,
- 21:02 the late Zola Levitt, some 50 times since.
- 21:05 And it's always just--it's a thrill, it really is.
- 21:10 Kirsten: So talk about the Beatitudes.
- 21:12 To me, it's like foundational, not really a learning but really
- 21:17 how to live from the base up, foundation up, what it's like to
- 21:20 live a Christian life and a life that follows Messiah.
- 21:26 Jeffrey: I mean, you're onto it, man, because that's why I wanted
- 21:28 to teach it in the first place.
- 21:31 It just gets to the 101.
- 21:33 I mean, there's a lot of failure in life.
- 21:36 If success in life was easy, everybody would have it.
- 21:38 A lot of people don't.
- 21:40 There's a lot of roadkill on the highway of life and for those
- 21:42 that want to open up the Bible and come to terms with Yeshua,
- 21:44 with Jesus, the essence and substance of what it means to
- 21:48 walk with him and be blessed by him, this is the go-to place.
- 21:52 If it's all you ever read in the Bible, 5, 6, and 7 of Matthew,
- 21:56 you ought to be able to get it.
- 21:58 David: You said the word "blessed."
- 22:00 Every phrase starts with the word "blessed,"
- 22:03 "blessed are ye who," yeah.
- 22:05 Jeffrey: Yes, indeed.
- 22:07 That's where the word "beatitude" comes from.
- 22:08 You know, there's a, you know, it's like there's
- 22:10 a Ten Commandments, there's about as many there
- 22:11 at the beginning and--
- 22:13 Kirsten: Oh, that's interesting, that's good.
- 22:14 Jeffrey: Yeah, these aren't just suggestions, you know?
- 22:16 They're commandments.
- 22:17 It just gets--don't do it for his sake.
- 22:19 I mean, if you follow Jesus, follow Yeshua,
- 22:20 don't do it for his sake, do it for your own.
- 22:23 He doesn't need the help; we do.
- 22:24 Kirsten: So much more of this whole series is I'm just looking
- 22:26 forward to all of it and your teaching and your insight.
- 22:28 Thank you so much, we have more to come, we'll be right back.

- 23:43 Sarah Liberman: Shalom Haverim.
- 23:45 One of the more common words you're gonna hear in Israel and
- 23:47 use in Hebrew is the word "beseder" which means okay.
- 23:52 So if somebody asks you, "How are you?"
- 23:54 you can say, "Beseder."
- 23:56 Now, the funny thing is that it actually means "in order."
- 24:00 So when you say, "I'm okay," what you're actually saying is,
- 24:03 "I'm in order."
- 24:05 Now you can also use it as a question: "Are you okay?"
- 24:10 So if you're gonna ask a guy, you would say, "Ata beseder?"
- 24:14 and if you ask a girl, you would say, "At beseder?"
- 24:18 So check around, look around, make sure everything is in order
- 24:22 and you can say, "Ani beseder."
- 24:27 Kirsten: Thank you, Sarah Liberman, toda raba, and you
- 24:30 would say, "bevakashah."
- 24:32 From Israel, Sarah writes our Personal Letter which is one
- 24:35 of our two monthly publications that goes out to all our viewers

- 24:51 Jeffrey: A great Hebrew teacher too.
- 24:52 Kirsten: She is.
- 24:54 Jeffrey: You know, she's a mom that just got into--
- 24:56 God just raises people up.
- 24:58 Bunch of kids but she had music in her heart as well as Mom
- 25:00 on her heart and she's all over the world now.
