Beatitudes in the Bible: Matthew 5:1-12


In the famous "beatitudes"--part of Jesus' sermon on the mount--Jesus turns human social order on its head by stating that it is humility, gentleness, and purity that God truly values, rather than power or wealth.

    Sorry I did not complete my thoughts previously, be blessed Saints.

    Once again, the Beatitudes denote what the subjects of Christ kingdom should have in their characters. It stipulates what is required of our character/ attitude as subjects to King Jesus. It is the constitution of the Kingdom. It is the biblical view of the way of life as far as Christian’s are concerned. Even though as pilgrims they would greatly differ from their fellow passerby. Yet, they know to follow Christ they must suffer loss on this side of eternity.

    So Saints, keep this dear to your hearts. Humble yourselves under the guidance of the Word and let His Spirit lead us every step of the way. As Proverbs 3. 4-6. States in the Amplified version
    4 So shall you find favor, good understanding, and high esteem in the sight [or judgment] of God and man.(B) 5 Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding. 6 In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths.

    GODSPEED!
