I have been going through the New Testament and I have been struggling with Matthew 5 and the commentary. I’ve been praying about it and today, after a long and painful day, I come across the exact thing I needed. Yho God👏🏽👏🏽

I find BEMA and Bible Project together to really help me understand some passages that I struggle with. I highly recommend BEMA Discipleship. For you, maybe start season 3 and they do an extensive teaching about Matthew. I added the additional insights from this fantastic video to my notes and they work together very well.

Glory and absolute pure Praise to you Father GOD, let your creation be shared and understood thru our Lord Jesus Christ, the holy spirit and the clear hearts of all men. No more division amongst Creation father GOD. One family GOD, one Peace. Thank you GOD for those who serve as Good Shepherds in the church of Christ. ............. Love to all the saints, study hard, pray harder and be the living word of GOD. That all men may see the truth, the way and life, (Christ).. GOD is Everything Christ is in all things The Holy Spirit thru all things. Agape.
I listened to the podcast for this aswell, and for anyone that wants to go more in depth I really recommend their podcast!! Regardless though, this is a beautiful and thought provoking message, I was raised catholic in a church that didn’t ever explain in this detail or go this in depth. Having online resources like this is really helping me discern everything I took away, and what God actually meant

The verse is more on if you are suffering because others falsely slander you for being righteous because of your faith in Christ. Then you can respond in joy as you are suffering because the people against you see your Christlikeness. While it is sad that there will be people openly hostile towards Christ and His people, if these people are against you it means your Christlikeness is visible to others and not like a lamp hidden under a bowl. As for the part of being cold and lacking empathy. I too also struggle with it but what I learned from matthew 5:43-44 where Jesus calls us to love our enemies; is that love is not just a feeling of compassion or when you empathise with someone. Apostle Paul also emphasizes love as a verb in romans 12:9-21. Paul nowhere in here says to 'feel' for the people in the scenarios he describes. But he ask the romans and us to do,share and practise love. Even God Himself exemplifies this in John 3:16. The verse says God sent His one and only son, He sent Jesus which is an action. God's love which is the kind Jesus wants us to be able to do is not limited to emotions only but also includes actions. So in conclusion, love is a verb. An act of commitment to seek the highest good for someone even if you don't feel 'love' for that someone. Scripture makes it clear love is a verb. But modern day usage of the word has twisted its meaning into a noun for our feelings of liking someone. While love in the bible also has the heart involved, it is not exclusively emotions. Actions > emotions when it comes to loving people especially your enemies! Of course action without pure motives cannot be considered love as well. Since Jesus mentions to keep our motives pure in matthew 5:8. The other verses mentioned above also reinforces the idea that love is sincere and pure as well.
Beautifully put. Thank You Jesus for blessing us so much! I also heard that salt of various forms is used in soil for farming, that without certain nutrients that nothing would grow. We are the salt of the soil (the earth) that makes things grow ❤
❤❤❤Your ministry brothers. May Jesus Christ Bless and Keep You in the hours ahead. The darker it gets? the Brighter Christ's Light Will Shine. Amen Amen Amen. Love you all. In Christ

Thank you so much for your work. May God bless you for spreading the good news and making it digestible! Glory to God
i'm trying to learning english with this, Lord bless you.
1. We are powerless and poor in spirit in ourselves. We must know this to submit to God for strength. We stop playing God. 2. Mourning is not as we view it. It is the essence of biblical awareness of our hearts. An act of cleansing, healing and acknowledging our past. It allows me to view God as He is with a redeemed heart. 3. Meekness is not weakness! Moses, David and our Jesus were described as weak! Every beatitude is given to us to recognize our humanness without Him and how it is complete in Him. We don't pick or choose the one to live by. We live by all of them daily! This is the longest and an important sermon that Jesus taught for us to live.
Beautiful Enlightenment ❤🙏🏿❤️✝️

THIS IS WHO EXPERIENCES THE GOOD LIFE “Whoever desires to love life and see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit; let him turn away from evil and do good; let him seek peace and pursue it. For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears are open to their prayer. But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.” (1 Peter 3:10-12 ESV)
