FOLLOW THE JESUS’ LAID ROAD – THE BEATTITUDES, SERMON ON THE MOUNT– FOR A WHOLESOME HEALTHY, HAPPY LIFE
The word Beatitude comes from the Latin beatus, meaning ”happy” or ”fortunate.’’
The Beatitudes, (in the Sermon on the Mount) are a set of eight definite and clear expressions of how we, as children of Elohim, should conduct ourselves accredited to Jesus Christ in Christian Scripture. Each affirmation contains a blessing for a certain group of people, in certain periods of their lives. They are direct expression of views and facts, declared by Jesus, giving them spiritual weight. So, if and when you decide to have a come to Jesus’ meeting, with yourself, they will provide insight into how you (and m) as Christians are meant to act and what we can expect in life on earth and life eternal.
And please, do not think, as some Christians do, that the Beatitudes are more significant than the Ten Commandments, in the Old Testament, they are not; two very different function: the Ten Commandments are prohibitions, while the Beatitudes are invitations to certain kinds of action, both which can be seen as serving as a visible symbol of the role of Jesus in Christianity yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
In all of life’s ups and downs, do you really want to learn how to live a life that is healthy, wholesome, and pleasing to God? The life which He has intended us to live; one of love, peace, happiness, and abundance. One that does not consist of war or the rumor thereof. One that He specifically said He will give us. One that does not revolve around, or matter what man is professing or doing. The good life, authored by our “Good God.” Well, you can.
When you study Jesus’ sermon, Known as The Sermon on the Mount, given on Beatitude Mountain (a hill in northern Israel’s Korazim Plateau, named after the Beatitudes), you will see how we are instructed to live, in order for us to be truly living; not just miserably existing. There, in His sermon, Jesus laid it all out for us to understand and be guided by it, every day. As we begin to study, (ask God, in Jesus’ name to give us wisdom) we are gradually enlightened through the revelations of His love and promises. And, who knows what goodness we would find in the way of answers to the world’s chaotic evolution.
Our search for a better world has taken us away from God and His Word (Jesus) and most have put themselves (smack dab in the middle) in the hands of men. False hopes and promises have brought us to this point and instead of getting better, it has gotten worse. But when we concentrate on the Word, walk in His way, and do His will, we will be led into total light. Instead of experiencing constant worry, sickness, sadness, disease, destruction, anger, offence, and lies, read and study the Beatitudes in the Sermon on the Mount, so we can and will live a blessed life.
In Jesus’ sermon He tells us how we are to live, to be all we can be in the sight of God. The guide we are to follow has been laid out in the eight beatitudes, Matthews 5:3-11. These are the blessings, taught by Jesus, describing the characteristics of the ideal follower of Christ and the blessings that he or she will receive, on Earth and in Heaven, in the Sermon on the Mount.
It is amazing to know that all Elohim and our Lord Jesus wants from us is that we are willing to be humble and teachable, to serve Him and others. Jesus wants us always to humbly acknowledge our need for him, accept His word as truth; they are as plain as can be in “THE BOOK”; in which all to have access. But we must turn our hearts and minds to Them, away from sin, and be willing to hear the word of God (Jesus). We will not fully understand what God, through Jesus, would have us to do, (our purpose) until we pick up our bible, open it, and begin to study, not just the sermon (which is the meat of the sermon), but the entire chapter.
Upon the Mount, Yashuah, Jesus delivered this powerful, all inspiring, encouraging, message. And in this message, He encapsulated the importance of our willingness to serve Him and one another with love, humility, and in truth. Also, within these teachings, He describes the condition of one’s heart, attitudes and actions that each of us, who profess to be His follower should possess. They are the Lord Jesus’ teaching which offer’s all who will, a roadmap on how to be good stewards of all that God has allowed us to possess; all our days, serving Him totally; to live a pleasing life to God; To understand why we are not to stop doing the right thing just because others do not approve.
The Beatitudes let us know that even in the hardest of times, like today as we are teetering on the edge of life changing decisions, due to man’s stupidity, we can, are, and will be still blessed as long as we keep our eyes on Jesus. It teaches us that (even though our heart is broken, or darkness seems to be everywhere) we must remain true to God’s word, will, and way; to always consider yourself the last of all, the servant of all, to be humble, not to judge others and to share all that we have, when the need arises. We must never give in to the lies that try to get us down, bind us up, or steer us down the ungodly, wrong path. Our lives should never be powered by anger but with patience and peace, letting go of our vanity and taking hold of God’s unchanging hand.
Jesus knew our relationships with each other (in order to live a spiritually full and healthy life) are the most important thing about life. He also knew that due to so many situations, circumstances, trials, troubles, and tribulations, that we encounter daily, we would slip, at times, therefore, we need a guide; He, Himself.
Because when all is said and done, through it all and in the end, we are striving for our home to be with the Father and our Lord Jesus; we will receive eternity in heaven. Also, as we hold up the banner of Adonai’s love and truth (Jesus’ Blood), we are blessed for continuously having and practicing His honorable qualities; all the goodness He has granted us to use while in His service on earth; being meek, righteous, merciful, pure in heart, and peacemakers. All of which bring about humility. So, do not worry about the condition of the world to the point you become caught up in it but be concerned with the Teachings of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, in the Sermon on the Mount, the Beatitudes.
When your mind, heart, eyes, ears, and spirit is stayed on Jesus, you will have the perfect example to follow. As Paul says in Philippians 2:6-11, “Jesus’ life is the symbol of perfected humility from beginning to end”. And as such why not study and use His teachings as our life’s guide?
