Mount of the Beatitudes Country

The land at the northwest corner of the Sea of Galilee rises from 700 feet below sea level to more than 200 feet above sea level in a conical shape that forms a natural amphitheater. This area has traditionally been identified as the hillside where Jesus preached the Sermon on the Mount.

One day as the crowds were gathering, Jesus went up the hillside with his disciples and sat down to teach them. Enormous crowds were following Him. Everyone wanted to see him. When Jesus began teaching he surprised the people because he taught about kingdom values with eternal consequences. He spoke with authority. His teachings were not multiple choice options but a holistic teaching that identified the journey towards Christ likeness.
