Today's reading: Numbers 2:17-34

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 the children of God. Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
Matthew 5:7-12

The beatitudes fulfilled in Christ (2)
Jesus was merciful. "A certain Samaritan had compassion, went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine" (Luke 10:33-34). "A merciful and faithful high priest to make propitiation for the sins of the people" (Hebrews 2:17).
He was absolutely pure. "You were redeemed with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot" (1 Peter 1:18-19).
Christ brought peace. "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you" (John 14:27). "Having made peace through the blood of his cross" (Colossians 1:20).
He suffered for righteousness. "Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow his footsteps, who committed no sin, nor was deceit found in his mouth, who reviled, did not revile in return; when he suffered, he did not threaten, but committed himself to him who judges righteously" (1 Peter 2:22-23).
He suffered for God. "For your sake I have borne; shame has covered my face" (Psalm 69:7).
The character of the Son of God was perfect in every way. How we need to praise Him!

FALSE PROPHETS AND THEIR PROPHECIES-FOOLISH PROPHETS

The word of Jehovah came unto me, saying: Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel that prophesy, and say unto them that prophesy out of their own heart, Hear ye the word of Jehovah. Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Woe unto the foolish prophets, that follow after their own spirit, and have seen nothing!...More

EVERYONE NEEDS A MIRACLE

Some years ago, I was invited to be the guest speaker at a garden party in an exclusive, highbrow residential area. Because I arrived at the venue quite early, I was made to sit for a while in the house of my host. The house was an exquisite parade of wealth and splendour. I had never seen such brazen display of...More

FOR CHRIST'S SAKE DON'T!

A negative change is generally abhorred by men. Everyone craves progress. We always desire to keep ascending the ladder of success. No one wants to make a u-turn in the journey of greatness. The greatest journey whose end has the greatest significance is the journey to Heaven. This journey is only made in Jesus...More
