For it is tradition alone which identifies the site of the most profound sermon in history. The spot is located on the northwest shoreline of the Sea of Gali lee, on a hill high above a little place called Tabgha. Beautiful Site “Happy are those who know they are spiritually poor: the Kingdom of heaven belongs to them!” For cen turies it has been accepted that Jesus began His immortal sermon on this hillside. It would seem fitting, for the view from this traditional site is aoso- lutely beautiful. To the north is Caper naum, the adopted home of Jesus. To the south Magdala, home of Mary Magdalene. From here one can see the city of Tiberias, built by Herod Antipas and named after the Roman Emperor Tiberius. Built over a ceme tery, the city was avoided by devout Jews. “Happy are those who work for peace among men: God will call them his sons!” Across the beautiful Sea of Galilee you can see the Golan Heights area. You can see the gun em placements used by the Syrians. The contrast is bitter. “You are the salt for all mankind .. . You are the light for the whole world. A city built on a hill cannot be hid.” You look to the north and the city of Safed. Was it this city Jesus pointed toward as He spoke? Looking down on the Sea of Galilee you wonder how many lives those words have changed. “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your friends, hate your enemies. But now I tell you: love your enemies, and pray for those who mistreat you, so that you will become sons of your Father in heaven.” You close your eyes and listen. You go back across the centuries in your mind and you imagine the scene that day. You can see the surprise spread through the crowd gathered here on the hillside as Jesus spoke those shocking words. “So when you give something to a needy person, do not make a big show of it, as the show-offs do in the syna gogues and on the streets.” You listen and you can hear His words blowing in the wind. For a moment you touch back into the present, wondering if— indeed—it was here on this site that He preached that sermon. Then sud denly, it doesn’t matter if it was here or over there or down yonder. What matters is that He did preach it. You look around this lovely area and see the variety of crops growing. You see the lilies of the field and the birds of the air. Suddenly you realize where Jesus gathered His food for thought. It was here, all around us!! Down on the Sea of Galilee you notice that a storm has begun. How quickly these waters can become rough and dangerous. You recall the in cident when the disciples were fright ened by a storm on these very waters and how the lowly Galilean hushed the storm. ‘‘Jesus finished these things, and the crowds were amazed at the way he taught. He wasn’t like their teachers of the law; instead, he taught with authority.” So Matthew makes his comment on the Sermon. Later others were to report: “Never a man spoke like this man ...” The Sermon on the Mount, perhaps preached here on the Mount of Beati tudes, has had it’s profound effect up on the life of mankind.—FIVE STAR Ray Rinehart, Newberry and Robert Steve Rinehart, Los An geles, Calif.; one brother, Har vey Driggers, Charleston; two sisters, Mrs. Elizabeth Watts and Mrs. Vera Wiggers, both of Newberry; and five grand children.
