Blessed are Ye
This final beatitude brings the truths home, emphasizing the fact that these blessings can be yours and mine!
Persecuted
“Blessed are the persecuted”… that seems such a contradiction, but Christ said it, and it is true. How can the persecuted Christian be described as blessed, or happy?
A Powerful Peacemaker
You might not think of Joseph as a peacemaker, but throughout his dealings with his brothers, he exemplifies the character and focus of a true peacemaker.
Peacemakers
Jesus said, “Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.” But what does it mean to be a peacemaker?
Pure Heart in a Pagan Land
Daniel is no doubt one of the Bible’s most remarkable men. God Himself pointed Daniel out for his righteousness and wisdom, but even he started out the same way any of us do: with a decision.
Pure in Heart
Jesus said that the pure in heart shall see God. What does that mean, and how can we have a pure heart?
The Merciful Stranger
Jesus told of an unlikely man who showed mercy on a wounded man. What can that story from so long ago teach us about showing mercy today?
The Merciful
Jesus said that the merciful are blessed, or happy, because they shall obtain mercy. So what does mercy look like?
“Is There Not a Cause?” David’s Hunger and Thirst for Righteousness
Throughout his life, David showed a heart that hungered and thirsted after righteousness. He was by no means perfect, but even in his response to sin, he shows a longing to be restored to righteousness.
