The Beatitudes

Pastor Scott Brenner Matthew 5:1~16
5:1 And seeing the multitudes, He went up on a mountain, and when He was seated His disciples came to Him.
5:2 Then He opened His mouth and taught them, saying:
5:3 "Blessed are the poor in spirit, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
5:4 Blessed are those who mourn, For they shall be comforted.
5:5 Blessed are the meek, For they shall inherit the earth.
5:6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, For they shall be filled.
5:7 Blessed are the merciful, For they shall obtain mercy.
5:8 Blessed are the pure in heart, For they shall see God.
5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers, For they shall be called sons of God.
5:10 Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
5:11 "Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake.
5:12 "Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
5:13 "You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.
5:14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.
5:15 "Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.
5:16 "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.
