How many of you see yourself as one of those mentioned?
![Page 17: Scripture and Sermon Slides February 2, 2014. Gospel Reading Matthew 5:1-12.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649c945503460f94951431/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
I Don’t!
![Page 18: Scripture and Sermon Slides February 2, 2014. Gospel Reading Matthew 5:1-12.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649c945503460f94951431/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Does that mean I am not or can’t be blessed?
![Page 19: Scripture and Sermon Slides February 2, 2014. Gospel Reading Matthew 5:1-12.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649c945503460f94951431/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
I don’t think so!
![Page 20: Scripture and Sermon Slides February 2, 2014. Gospel Reading Matthew 5:1-12.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649c945503460f94951431/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
First of all, it is for the future, not now
![Page 21: Scripture and Sermon Slides February 2, 2014. Gospel Reading Matthew 5:1-12.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649c945503460f94951431/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Secondly, it does not say those who are not these things are
cursed!
![Page 22: Scripture and Sermon Slides February 2, 2014. Gospel Reading Matthew 5:1-12.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649c945503460f94951431/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
It is a passage of HOPE!
![Page 23: Scripture and Sermon Slides February 2, 2014. Gospel Reading Matthew 5:1-12.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649c945503460f94951431/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Also I think we do find ourselves in these, more than we think!
![Page 24: Scripture and Sermon Slides February 2, 2014. Gospel Reading Matthew 5:1-12.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649c945503460f94951431/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Poor in Spirit
• Means to not be “spirited”– Not all full of yourself– Not driven
• Here if you have a big ego – rich in spirit, you have a tendency to be in charge– You also have a tendency to run people over– You also have a tendency to not be satisfied
• But if you are willing to accept your place without ambition to overwhelm you are poor in spirit
• And if you are poor in spirit in the Kingdom of Heaven, the Kingdom is yours
![Page 25: Scripture and Sermon Slides February 2, 2014. Gospel Reading Matthew 5:1-12.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649c945503460f94951431/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Those who Mourn
• We all have things for which to mourn– People– Things– The way things used to be
• In the Kingdom of Heaven, there will be no more tears
![Page 26: Scripture and Sermon Slides February 2, 2014. Gospel Reading Matthew 5:1-12.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649c945503460f94951431/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Those that hunger and thirst for Righteousness
• Decency• Honesty• Justice
• They will get what they are looking for in the Kingdom of Heaven
![Page 28: Scripture and Sermon Slides February 2, 2014. Gospel Reading Matthew 5:1-12.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649c945503460f94951431/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
The Merciful

![Page 29: Scripture and Sermon Slides February 2, 2014. Gospel Reading Matthew 5:1-12.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649c945503460f94951431/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Pure in Heart

![Page 30: Scripture and Sermon Slides February 2, 2014. Gospel Reading Matthew 5:1-12.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649c945503460f94951431/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Pure in Heart
None of us qualify!
Without Jesus, None of us will see God
(except very small children)
![Page 31: Scripture and Sermon Slides February 2, 2014. Gospel Reading Matthew 5:1-12.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649c945503460f94951431/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Peacemakers
• Not ones who ignore conflict• Not those who appease• Ones who help those in conflict come to a
workable, agreeable, sustainable solution
Helps both sides getAll of what they need
Some of what they want
![Page 32: Scripture and Sermon Slides February 2, 2014. Gospel Reading Matthew 5:1-12.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649c945503460f94951431/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Those persecuted for being Righteous
• If you are going to be aggressive be aggressive in seeing that what is right and what is just is done
• Don’t expect to be loved• In fact expect to be persecuted and/or killed– Martin Luther King– Mandela– Ghandi
![Page 33: Scripture and Sermon Slides February 2, 2014. Gospel Reading Matthew 5:1-12.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649c945503460f94951431/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Those who are persecuted because they are identified as active Christians
• We have not experienced this until recently• We are becoming the minority• The rest of the world understands this . . .
Because they are persecuted• The Church has always thrived in persecution
![Page 34: Scripture and Sermon Slides February 2, 2014. Gospel Reading Matthew 5:1-12.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649c945503460f94951431/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Things we can do here
• Not be egotistical and aggressive • Comfort those who mourn• Be humble and willing to do whatever comes
our way– No small parts
• “Clean Up Our Act”– Repent and accept the gracious gift of forgiveness
![Page 35: Scripture and Sermon Slides February 2, 2014. Gospel Reading Matthew 5:1-12.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649c945503460f94951431/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Things we can do here (cont.)
• Mediate and broker peace– Don’t take sides – mediate– Learn how to manage conflict
• There will always be some!
• Be obvious (not pushy) Christians– No matter what anyone says– Be willing to pay the price for being one
• Don’t worry what others say about you because you are Christian– Even if they lie and cause you problems because of it
