The Lesson:

Jesus took his disciples up the mountain and gathering them together, he taught them saying:

Blessed are the poor in spirit...

Blessed are they that mourn...

Blessed are the merciful...

Blessed are they who thirst for justice...

Blessed are you when persecuted for righteousness sake...

Blessed are you when you suffer...

Be glad and rejoice for great is your reward in heaven...

Then Simon Peter said “Do we have to write this down?”

And Andrew said “Are we supposed to know this ?”

And James said “Will we have a test on it?”

And Phillip said “What if we don't know it?”

And Bartholomew said “Do we have to turn this in?”

And Matthew said “When do we get out of here?”

And Judas said “What does this have to do with real life?”

One of the Pharisees asked to see Jesus' lesson plan and inquired of his terminal objectives in the cognitive domain.

Jesus wept.
