The Sermon On The Mount, Carl Bloch

"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
"Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
"Blessed are the gentle, for they shall inherit the earth.
"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.
"Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.
"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.
"Blessed are those who have been persecuted for the sake of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

"Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you,
and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me.
"Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great;
for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

Matthew 5:3-12

Glorify the God and Father of Our Lord Jesus Christ

Now we who are strong ought to bear the weaknesses of those without strength and not just please ourselves. Each of us is to please his neighbor for his good, to his edification. For even Christ did not please Himself; but as it is written, "THE REPROACHES OF THOSE WHO REPROACHED YOU FELL ON ME."

For whatever was written in earlier times was written for our instruction, so that through perseverance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.

Now may the God who gives perseverance and encouragement grant you to be of the same mind with one another according to Christ Jesus, so that with one accord you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, accept one another, just as Christ also accepted us to the glory of God.

Romans 15:1-7

Daily Devotional
by Berni Dymet
Christianity Works

"If you and I had jumped out of a plane and our parachutes were tangled … if you and I were holding onto each other plummeting to the ground … if 60 seconds was all I had, what would I say to you?

"Well, I’d hold onto you tight and it’d go something like this:

"I need to tell you something. There is a God. Believe me – there is."

...by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead - by his name this man stands here before you in good health. "He is the STONE WHICH WAS REJECTED by you, THE BUILDERS, but WHICH BECAME THE CHIEF CORNER stone. And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved."
Acts 4:12

The Great Physician At Work, F Hofmann, 1890

The Authority Of Christ
by Alistair Begg, Truth For Life
One Place

"Consider here the Great Physician's mighty power: the power to forgive sin! While He lived here below, before the ransom had been paid, before the blood had been literally sprinkled on the mercy-seat, He had power to forgive sin. Has He no power to do it now that He has died? What power must dwell in Him who to the utmost penny has faithfully discharged the debts of His people! He has unlimited power now that He has finished transgression and made an end of sin. If you doubt it, see Him rising from the dead! Behold Him in ascending splendor, raised to the right hand of God! Hear Him pleading before the eternal Father, pointing to His wounds, declaring the merit of His sacred passion!"

Satan Tempting Christ To Change Stones Into Bread, Rembrandt, 1640

Saturn Hinders Us
by Alistair Begg, Truth For Life
One Place

"...Since the first hour in which goodness came into conflict with evil, it has never ceased to be true in spiritual experience that Satan hinders us. From all points of the compass, all along the line of battle, in the advance party or in the rear, at the dawn of day and in the midnight hour, Satan hinders us. If we work in the field, he seeks to break our implements; if we build a wall, he tries to cast down the stones; if we are serving God in suffering or in conflict—everywhere Satan hinders us. He hinders us when we are first coming to Jesus Christ. We had fierce conflicts with Satan when we first looked to the cross and lived. Now that we are saved, he tries to prevent our growth in Christian character. You may be congratulating yourself: “So far I have walked consistently; no one can challenge my integrity...”

For we wanted to come to you - I, Paul, more than once - and yet Satan hindered us.
1 Thessalonians 2:18
