What happens here:
- The beatitudes
- you are like salt and light
- the law is still important
- Jesus teaches about anger
- Jesus teaches about sexual sins
- Jesus teaches about divorce
- Make promises carefully
- Don't fight back
- Love everyone
Reflections:
The beatitudes show who finds favor in God. Good news, if the worlds is beating you up. God is on your side. Its better with God to be on the bottom on Earth.
We are living testimonies for the God we serve. Jesus says we should be like salt and light. Where ever we go, out actions should show God's way.
Highlight:
What part of the beatitudes (verses 3-10) speaks out to you? Chances are, as a Christian you fit into at least one category, because the world is cruel to those who hunger after God. But Jesus says that we should rejoice when the world hurts us for following him because God will rewards us for it when we get to Heaven. A little suffering here is worth it for eternal reward.
