Sermon on the Mount

Matthew Chapter 5

 

It all begins with the teachings of our dear Lord Jesus.

When he "saw the crowds, he went up on the side of a mountain and sat down," and said:

 

3  God blesses those who are poor and realize their need for him, for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs.

4  God blesses those who mourn, for they will be comforted.

5  God blesses those who are humble, for they will inherit the whole earth.

6  God blesses those who hunger and thirst for justice, for they will be satisfied.

7  God blesses those who are merciful, for they will be shown mercy.

8   God blesses those whose hearts are pure, for they will see God.

9   God blesses those who work for peace, for they will be called the children of God.

10  God blesses those who are persecuted for doing right, for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs.

 

We welcome any suggestions you may have regarding the ten "blessings" that Jesus spoke about and how they apply to our lives today.
