    The Beatitudes are a beautiful picture of the character of Christ and of consecrated Christians. Why would such a lifestyle depicted in the first seven beatitudes provoke persecution rather than admiration and esteem?

    Intro In our study of the Beatitudes, we come to the eighth beatitude. It is recorded in Matthew 5:10: “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”i The reward declared in this final beatitude is the same as declared in the first ...read more

    1. Faith must be specific. 2. Faith calls for surrender. 3. Faith must be adequate. 4. Faith must be personal.

    Some time ago I read a bumper sticker which said, “Keep the Faith” printed in bold black letters. But underneath was another line in smaller print that said, “If you have any left.” We live in a very cynical and skeptical world, and many people are unsure of exactly what they are supposed to ...read more

    We often meet with crosses in the way of duty; and though we must not pull them upon our own heads, yet, when they are laid for us, we must take them up, and carry them after Christ. We must never be ashamed of Christ and his gospel.

    Opening illustration: What have we gotten ourselves into? Many people have asked this question when they were faced with great personal risk. • A mountain climber ~ is it worth taking the risk? • A soldier in combat ~ is it worth it?
