What two key components did Jesus deliver during the Sermon on the Mount?

• A. Beatitudes and the Lord's Prayer
• B. Ten Commandments and Beatitudes
• C. Parables and Miracles
• D. The Old Law and Beatitudes

Answer: (A)

Two key components are the Beatitudes and the Lord's Prayer. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus first speaks blessings on those who live under God’s rule—the Beatitudes—outlining the attitudes and conditions that please God. Soon after, he provides a model for prayer—the Lord’s Prayer—showing how his followers should approach God, seek His will, rely on daily provision, seek forgiveness, and stay protected from temptation. These two parts together capture the spirit of the sermon: living in a way that reflects God’s blessing and communicating with God in a humble, relational way. The other options mix elements not presented together as the main features of this sermon (miracles or parables are part of Jesus’ broader ministry; the Ten Commandments or “Old Law” relate to the old covenant rather than the two central teachings highlighted here).
