The � Beatitudes � Spoken by Our Lord Christ Jesus*
Matthew 5:1-16 (KJV)
1~ And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:
2~ And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,
3~ Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4~ Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
5~ Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
6~ Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
7~ Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
8~ Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
9~ Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
10~ Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11~ Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
12~ Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
13~ Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
14~ Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
15~ Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
16~ Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
John 15:12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
John 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
John 15:14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.
John 15:15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.
PJ,isn't it good to know that Yesua is our friend.
Even when we are unfaithul and unbelieving,Yeshua is faithul and Loves us.
St.George
ps:
My first post,i was hoping you would have understood that i wanted you to seeing yourself as an Ambassador of Yeshua.
And also an instrument of Grace to bring the Gopel to others.
Here's an @ all of us... took this from today's "Our Daily Bread" devotion ....
During a devotional session at a conference, our leader asked us to read aloud 1 Corinthians 13:4-8, and substitute the word �Jesus� for �love.� It seemed so natural to say, �Jesus suffers long and is kind; Jesus does not envy; Jesus does not parade Himself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek His own . . . . Jesus never fails.�
Then our leader said, �Read the passage aloud and say your name instead of Jesus.� We laughed nervously at the suggestion. �I want you to begin now,� the leader said. Quietly, haltingly I said the words that felt so untrue: �David does not seek his own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. David never fails.�
The exercise caused me to ask, �How am I hindering God from expressing His love through me?� Do I think that other expressions of faith are more important? Paul declared that from God�s perspective, eloquent speech, deep spiritual understanding, lavish generosity, and self-sacrifice are worthless when not accompanied by love (vv.1-3).
God longs to express His great heart of love for others through us. Will we allow Him to do it?
