Luke 6:20-36
And he looked at each of His disciples, and said:
Blessed be the poor: for yours is the kingdom of God.
Blessed are those that hunger now: for they will be satisfied
Blessed are they that weep now: for they will laugh.
Blessed are you when men hate you, and when they treat you as an outcast, and insult you, and speak your name as if it was evil, for the Son of man’s sake.
You should rejoice in that day, and be glad: for consider this, your reward in heaven is great: for after this manner their fathers did to the Prophets:
But woe is to you that are rich: for you have received your consolation.
Woe be to you that are full: for you will hunger.
Woe be to you that now laugh: for you will wail and weep.
Woe be to you when all men speak well of you: for so did their fathers speak of the false prophets.
But I say to you who hear,
Love your enemies: do well to those who hate you.
Bless them that curse you, and pray for them who hurt you.
And to him that strikes you on the one cheek; offer the other also, and to the one that takes away your cape, let him take your coat also.
Give to every man that asks of you: and of the one that takes away the things that are yours, don’t ask for them back.
And as you would have men treat you, treat them likewise.
For if you love those who love you, what thanks will you have?
For even the sinners love those that love them. And if you do good things for those who do good things for you, what thanks will you have? For even the sinners do the same. And if you lend to those of whom you hope to receive something from, what thanks will you have? For even the sinners lend to sinners, to receive the same back.
But I say you are to love your enemies, and do good, and lend, looking for nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and you will be the children of the most High: for he is kind to the unkind, and to the evil.
Therefore you are to be merciful, as your Father also is merciful.
If we are following the commandments of Christ Jesus and loving loving the sinner (not the sin) and caring for those who are in need helping and giving of our selves to them to the point we are hunger, feeling there sadness and pain and being spoken of evilly for doing so, remember these things;
- God will never leave you or forsake you,
- the world turned on Jesus for doing the will of His Father,
- and the world will turn on you for doing the will of Father God and Christ Jesus,
And also remember this
- When Christ returns for us our hunger will be filed in heaven
- Our joy will over flow in heaven
- And no matter what men may say or do to us in this world when we reach heaven it won’t amount to anything for we will be with Jesus. And we will have peace and joy for ever more
Distress, sadness, despair and disaster awaits those who think they are rich those how tightly grasp hold to what they have, what they think are riches, instead of giving of self and things to help those in need, you that are rich, you have received your consolation.
Distress will be for you that are full, of self: for you will hunger for life.
Sadness will be for you that now laugh: for you will wail and weep.
Despair and disaster will be for you when all men speak well of you: for so did their fathers speak of the false prophets, and they will spend eternity in hell separated from Father God and Christ Jesus.
What do you have to look forward to?
• A eternal life without wont or hunger
• A eternal life filed with joy and peace
Or are you looking at an eternal life of pain and anguish?
A little pain and suffering now can lead to a life of joy, peace, contentment a full and fulfilled life with Christ in heaven.
This world is not my home, i’m headed home and would like to take you with me, and you are welcomed to come, just ask Jesus and He will except you in.
