Matthew 5
New International Version
Introduction to the Sermon on the Mount
5 Now when Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him, 2 and he began to teach them.
The Beatitudes
He said:
“Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn,
for they will be comforted.
Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be filled.
Blessed are the merciful,
for they will be shown mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they will see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called children of God.
Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
“Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
Today light enters my soul. I have become new, Jesus is leading the way. He submits to the Heavenly Father and goes against the system of oppression. He leads by example, here God submits to love and surrenders Himself to serving others. What kind of love is this that the leadership is low, holding others up in love and support. A new way of living life has emerged into my mind. Love one another is both full and complete.
As I walked alongside Jesus, his presence filled me with a sense of peace and purpose like never before. The weight of the world’s expectations and demands seemed to fade away in the glow of his love.
“Love one another,” his words echoed in my mind, simple yet profound. It wasn’t just about saying the words but living them out in every moment, every interaction.
I watched as Jesus reached out to those society had cast aside, offering them not just his words but his time, his compassion. His actions spoke volumes, louder than any sermon preached from a pulpit.
In a world that thrived on power struggles and competition, Jesus showed me a different way—a way of humility, of service, of lifting others up instead of tearing them down.
Love was not just a feeling but a choice, a decision to see the humanity in each person I encountered, to treat them with kindness and respect regardless of their background or beliefs.
And as I embraced this new way of living, I felt a sense of freedom unlike anything I had experienced before. Love was not a burden but a gift, one meant to be shared generously with all who crossed my path.
With Jesus by my side, I embarked on this journey of love, ready to follow his example and spread this transformative force to all who needed it most.
