Matthew 5:22–24 (ESV): "23 So if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, 24 leave your gift there before the altar and go.

Matthew 5:19-20

Matthew 5:19–20 (ESV): "20 For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven." The ticket for entrance into heaven is perfect righteousness. No one will enter without it. Thankfully Jesus is giving out free tickets! Jesus said He didn't come to abolish the law but to...

Matthew 5:9

Matthew 5:9 (ESV): "9 "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God." Every child in the Lord's family is a middle child. That means we are to be peacemakers!

Matthew 5:8

Matthew 5:8 (ESV): "8 "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." One of the most offensive lifestyles to God is that of a poser. A person who says they have an undivided heart towards God and say they are free from sexual immorality and yet they are living the very opposite. God is most offended by such a one as this (Isa 1:10-17...

Matthew 5:7

Matthew 5:7 (ESV): "7 "Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy." God demands that His people be merciful because He is a merciful God. That means we should never desire that people to get what they deserve but to obtain the mercy we have received. A.W. Tozer reminds us "If God had not been merciful there would have been no incar...

Matthew 5:5

Matthew 5:5 (ESV): "5 "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth." The most powerful men in the world can be the most prideful. The godly man ought never to let pride well up as a result of the power they've received. As uncle Ben told the young Peter Parker, "with great power comes great responsibility." The third Beatitude that ...

Matthew 5:4

Matthew 5:4 (ESV): "4 "Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted." The only way a person can truly see their need for Jesus is through the lens of Godly sorrow. It is this state of mourning that leads a person to repentance that leads to salvation. It is the only comfort from this state of grief (2 Cor 7:10-14). The second Beati...

Matthew 5:3

Matthew 5:3 (ESV): "3 "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."

After Jesus called His disciples to Himself He gave the most extraordinary sermon ever given. The Se...

Matthew 4:1;11 (ESV): "1 Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil…11 Then the devil left him, and behold, angels came and were ministering to him.
