Today's reading: Numbers 1:47-2:16

Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
Matthew 5:3-6

The beatitudes fulfilled in Christ (1)
The beatitudes are motivating words that Christ spoke to His disciples who followed Him, wanting to learn from Him. The Lord explained the characteristics that should mark them out. So it is not surprising that these characteristics can be found in Christ to perfection. A comparison with other passages of the Bible confirms the fact.
Christ was poor and humble in spirit. "This mind was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God made himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant" (Philippians 2:5-7).
He mourned. "As he drew near, he saw the city and wept over it, saying, if you had known .. the things that make for your peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes" (Luke 19:41-42). "When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her weeping, he groaned in the spirit and was troubled. And he said, Where have you laid him? They said to him, Lord, come and see. Jesus wept" (John 11:33-35).
He was meek. "Learn of me, for I am meek and lowly of heart" (Matthew 11:29).
He hungered after righteousness. "His disciples urged him, saying, Rabbi, eat. But he said to them, I have food to eat of which you do not know My food is to do the will of him who sent me, and to finish his work" (John 4:31, 32, 34).

OFFENDED IN CHRIST?

The Christian race must be run with lots of patience or else it will be bungled midway. If you are inpatient with Gods timing, you will not only get into trouble but may not be able to finish the race. A good number of backsliders derailed from their heavenly track because of impatience. In Matthew 11:6 Jesus...More

THE HOLY SPIRIT

It is one thing to receive the anointing and another to keep growing on it. There are people who had the anointing, but today, everything has virtually ebbed out. It is possible to connect with the Holy Spirit and to continue to flow in the power of the anointing even at increasing levels. If this is your desire,...More

BEFORE YOU GET ANGRY

Yesterday we learnt it is not right for us to get angry with God or to take offence against Him, even if we experience the deferment of our hopes. The example of John the Baptist who earlier acknowledged Jesus as the Messiah, but later doubted Him because of his painful experience of incarceration is a warning...More
