Good evening, everyone!
Today I read Matthew 5-6.
And today I'm going to share just a few of the wonderful verses I read today, commonly called the Beatitudes.
Matthew 5:1-11 - When Jesus saw the crowds, He went up on the mountain; and after He sat down, His disciples came to Him. He opened His mouth and began to teach 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 gentle, for they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.
Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive 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 have been persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me.
Blessed are...those who follow Jesus, and seek His kingdom first, above all things. That's you and me, friend. Even when it's not easy, keep hanging in there. The blessing will be worth it.
I hope you'll join me tomorrow when I read Matthew 7-8.
