WORDS OF OUR BELOVED SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST

          From - Matthew 5:3-19    TLB
 
 
"Humble men are very fortunate!" he told them, "for the Kingdom of Heaven is given to them.
 
Those who mourn are fortunate! for they shall be comforted.
 
The meek and lowly are fortunate! for the whole wide world belongs to them.
 
"Happy are those who long to be just and good, for they shall be completely satisfied.
 
Happy are the kind and merciful, for they shall be shown mercy.
 
Happy are those whose hearts are pure, for they shall see God.
 
Happy are those who strive for peace--they shall be called the sons of God.
 
Happy are those who are persecuted because they are good, for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs.
 
"When you are reviled and persecuted and lied about because you are my followers--wonderful!
 
Be happy about it! Be very glad! for a tremendous reward awaits you up in heaven. And remember, the ancient prophets were persecuted too.
 
"You are the world's seasoning, to make it tolerable. If you lose your flavor, what will happen to the world? And you yourselves will be thrown out and trampled underfoot as worthless.
 
You are the world's light--a city on a hill, glowing in the night for all to see.
 
Don't hide your light!
 
Let it shine for all; let your good deeds glow for all to see, so that they will praise your heavenly Father.
 
"Don't misunderstand why I have come--it isn't to cancel the laws of Moses and the warnings of the prophets. No, I came to fulfill them and to make them all come true.
 
With all the earnestness I have I say: Every law in the Book will continue until its purpose is achieved.
 
And so if anyone breaks the least commandment and teaches others to, he shall be the least in the Kingdom of Heaven. But those who teach God's laws and obey them shall be great in the Kingdom of Heaven.
