Beatitudes - Supreme Blessedness
And seeing the multitudes, He went up on a mountain, and when He was seated His disciples came to Him.
Then He opened His mouth and taught them, saying:
“Blessed are the poor in spirit, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn, For they shall be comforted.
Blessed are the meek, For they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, For they shall be filled.
Blessed are the merciful, For they shall obtain mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart, For they shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers, For they shall be called sons of God.
Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
“Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake.
Blessed are the Poor in Spirit
Kingdom of Heaven belongs to them
For all those things My hand has made, And all those things exist,” Says the Lord. “But on this one will I look: On him who is poor and of a contrite spirit, And who trembles at My word.
The poor who have been robbed or taken advantage of will be restored! The kingdom of Heaven belongs to you!
It is yours! You no longer are poor of spirit. There are riches in heaven now made available to you!
Blessed are those who mourn
Comfort will be given
Most assuredly, I say to you that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; and you will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into joy.
You who have suffered a great loss in your life and are mourning… God’s promise to you is to turn your mourning into Joy! He has made provisions for your comfort.
Blessed are the meek
The earth shall be their inheritance
The humble also shall increase their joy in the Lord, And the poor among men shall rejoice In the Holy One of Israel.
You are meek! You have an inheritance! the Earth shall be yours.
Meek means quiet, gentle, easily imposed on.
You might be tired of being imposed on and pushed around God brings you and inheritance! Their is a land that belongs to you. You will have to fight for it though.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness
They shall be filled
He has filled the hungry with good things, And the rich He has sent away empty.
Tired of getting it wrong? Hungry for righteousness? True Justice? God will fill you up when you learn to do it His way
Merciful will obtain mercy
Blessed is he who considers the poor; The Lord will deliver him in time of trouble.
Learn to give mercy because one day you will need it for yourself.
Pure in heart
see God
Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord:
Keep your heart pure, so your vision of God doesn’t become blurry
peacemakers
called sons of God
Get ready to be used by God! Be ready to be used to bring peace!
To bring hope to the ones lacking peace
persecuted
theirs is the kingdom of heaven
But even if you should suffer for righteousness’ sake, you are blessed. “And do not be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled.”
Don’t worry about trouble! God’s blessing is on you! you have been called to make a difference and you can’t make a difference without making people mad.
Blessed are the persecuted because of Jesus
Rejoice your reward will be in heaven
The Similitudes
The Similitudes
“You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.
“You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.
Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.
If we miss the first part of the message we won’t get the second part...
You are the Salt!
