Matthew 5:1-12

Listen to Matthew 5:1-12

The Sermon on the Mount: The Beatitudes

1 Now [when he] saw the crowds, he went up the mountain and [after he] sat down, his disciples approached him.
2 And opening his mouth he began to teach them, saying,
3 "Blessed [are] the poor in spirit, because theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Blessed [are] the ones who mourn, because they will be comforted.
5 Blessed [are] the meek, because they will inherit the earth.
6 Blessed [are] the ones who hunger and thirst [for] righteousness, because they will be satisfied.
7 Blessed [are] the merciful, because they will be shown mercy.
8 Blessed [are] the pure in heart, because they will see God.
9 Blessed [are] the peacemakers, because they will be called sons of God.
10 Blessed [are] those who are persecuted because of righteousness, because theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute [you] and say all kinds of evil things against you, lying on account of me.
12 Rejoice and be glad, because your reward [is] great in heaven, for in the [same] way they persecuted the prophets before you.

Psychology of Jesus, 3

Tim Kelley

When God created the human race He did it perfectly. Physically we knew no death, sickness or pain. What we forget however is that we were also psychologically perfect - balanced, with values uncorrupted, right thought patterns; stress and anxiety were nonexistent. The whole human race now needs psychiatric help. Though many may seem self reliant and stable, without God, the best we can do is build strong defense mechanisms around strongholds to reduce fear and vulnerability. (Matthew 5:1-12)
