For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
For they shall be comforted.
7 Blessed are the merciful,
9 Blessed are the peacemakers,
For they shall be called sons of God.
For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 m“Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of nevil against you falsely for My sake. 12 oRejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for pso they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
"Then He opened His mouth and taught them, saying..."
That's my favorite part.
What an honor and huge responsibility teaching is. You are imparting your knowledge on someone else.
What if you're wrong?
The greatest teacher of all is never wrong. That's awesome. Everything He said was right. Everything. He used his knowledge to combat sin. So the old saying "knowledge is power" is profound in all its meaning. Christ had a knowledge of the father and of the Word. Christ became the embodiment-the living, breathing, eating WORD of God. He was the ultimate example of CHRISTian living. He not only SPOKE words to teach others but he LIVED in such a way to be the greatest example for us to follow. He was the BEST teacher-he lived what He taught.
Christ mourned just as a man, He was meek and humble, He spent time talking with the Lord to receive a deeper relationship with the Father, He was merciful in His ways, He was PURE and RIGHTEOUS, He was a peacemaker, and He was persecuted for Righteousness sake. He knew His reward was not of this earth and looked to His Father for ultimate satisfaction in His death.
Awesome. What a God we serve.
