(Matthew 5:3-12)
The prophet's reward is given to those who suffer in Jesus Name. Those who see their own weakness, grieve over sin in themselves and others, who do not force their will on others and those who long for righteousness in the world, will also be rewarded. Those whose hearts are tender with mercy because they need it themselves, will. receive it. To the pure God will show Himself pure. Those who embrace reconciliation with others will be reconciled to God. If we will share in His glory, we must also share in His suffering. For the joy that is set before us, let us press on!
