1 Matthew 5:1-12
2 Introduction This is a practical summary of a Christian s character. Each of these qualities are present within the faithful child of God. True blessings come only to those who will develop and cultivate such qualities of character. Will you be blessed?
3 Blessed Are Matthew 5: And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain:and when he was set, his disciples came unto him: 2 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying, Blessed Blessed - Greek MAKARIOS pertaining to being happy, with the implication of enjoying favorable circumstances (from Greek-English Lexicon Based on Semantic Domain)
4 Matthew 5: And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain:and when he was set, his disciples came unto him: 2 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying, Blessed Makarios points more to what is inward, and so might be rendered "happy," in a lofty sense (from Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown Commentary) The state of being blessed includes the current state of happy disposition, but also the blessedness to come (perfected).
5 3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. contrite and humble spirit (Isaiah 57:15) In humility submitting to God s ways (Jeremiah 10:23) Humble submission to rather than boastful assumption of salvation, recognizing the overwhelming blessing of God s good graces (Ephesians 2:8-9). Poor in spirit: What is man, that thou art mindful of him? (Psalm 8:4 KJV)
6 3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. To be poor in spirit means to be humble, to have a correct estimate of oneself (Rom 12:3). It does not mean to be "poor spirited" and have no backbone at all! "Poor in spirit" is the opposite of the worlds attitudes of self-praise and self-assertion. It is not a false humility that says, "I am not worth anything, I can't do anything!
7 3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Only the poor in spirit will inherit the kingdom of heaven. We humble ourselves, and God lifts us up. (James 4:8-10)
8 4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. to experience sadness or grief as the result of depressing circumstances or the condition of persons - 'to be sad, to grieve for, to weep for, sorrow, grief.' (from Louw Nida Greek-English Lexicon) the day of one s death is better than the day of one s birth. better to go to a house of mourning Sorrow is better than laughter (Ecclesiastes 7:1-6)
9 Of what should a Christian mourn? (#1) Regret/mourning should be expressed for personal sin Repent! (Acts 3:19) and put it behind you (Philippians 3:13) (#2) Mourn the sins of others (1 Corinthians 5:2) rather than dare to arrogantly accept them in their sinful state as do so many under the guise of Christian love. Acknowledging the wickedness of others causes one to mourn (Philippians 3:18) This emotion of real sorrow for their soul should motivate us to urge them to repent!
10 4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. (#1) Comfort now: Comfort from forgiveness, which comes from repentance and obedience (Acts 2:38, 22:16) Knowing I ve done what the Lord commands, and The Lord knows those who are His (2 Timothy 2:19) From others confessing and repenting of sin (2 Cor. 7:10)
11 4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. (#2) Comfort in the hereafter: He shall wipe away every tear from their eyes (Revelation 21:4) so we shall always be with the Lord (1 Thessalonians 4:17)
12 5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. humble, gentle (Thayer s Greek Lexicon) A meek and quiet spirit (1 Peter 3:4) to be peaceable, gentle, showing every consideration for all men. (Titus 3:2) NASU Fruit of the spirit includes gentleness (Galatians 5:22-23) Psalm 37:11 But the humble will inherit the land And will delight themselves in abundant prosperity. NASU
13 5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. Earth is the word for land Spiritual character will receive spiritual reward Composite character & composite reward Our hope is not eternity on earth (2 Peter 3:11) Our hope is in heaven (1 Peter 1:4) One hope (Ephesians 4:4)
14 6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. As the body has its natural appetites of hunger and thirst for the food and drink suited to its nourishment, so has the soul. (from Adam Clarke's Commentary) Psalm 42:1-2, 63:1-2; Isa 55:1-2
15 6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. John 4:13-14, 7:37-38; Psalm 23
16 7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. not simply possessed of pity but actively compassionate (from Vine's Expository Dictionary of Biblical Words) Luke 6:35-36
17 7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. The Lord s Prayer - Matthew 6:12-15 Matthew 18:21ff
18 8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. Literally clean/clear/pure heart Consider Psalm 24:3-5 let us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. (Heb 10:22) NASU
19 8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not appeared as yet what we will be. We know that when He appears, we will be like Him, because we will see Him just as He is. 3 And everyone who has this hope fixed on Him purifies himself, just as He is pure. (1 John 3:2-3) NASU
20 9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. Romans 12:18 Ephesians 4:1-3
21 9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. Ephesians 5:1-2 Philippians 2:14-15
22 As a result of your Godly character (Matt. 5:10-12) 10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. 12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. (see also Romans 12:16-21)
23 As a result of your Godly character Romans 12: Be of the same mind toward one another; do not be haughty in mind, but associate with the lowly. Do not be wise in your own estimation. 17 Never pay back evil for evil to anyone. Respect what is right in the sight of all men. 18 If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men.
24 As a result of your Godly character Romans 12: Never take your own revenge, beloved, but leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written, "VENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY," says the Lord. 20 "BUT IF YOUR ENEMY IS HUNGRY, FEED HIM, AND IF HE IS THIRSTY, GIVE HIM A DRINK; FOR IN SO DOING YOU WILL HEAP BURNING COALS ON HIS HEAD." 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. NASU
25 Conclusion Happy are 1. The Poor in spirit 2. Those who mourn sin 3. The Meek 4. Those who Hunger & Thirst for Righteousness 5. The Merciful 6. The Pure In Heart 7. The Peacemakers 8. Those able to endure persecution! Blessed Blessed Blessed Blessed Blessed Blessed Blessed Blessed
