A proposito di questo titolo

Join Tim and John as they study the last Four Beatitudes. Theme: https://uppbeat.io/t/northwestern/a-new-beginning and https://uppbeat.io/t/pecan-pie/halloween-time Transition Song: https://uppbeat.io/t/all-good-folks/ Introduction to the Last Four Beatitudes If the first four Beatitudes describe the heart of a disciple, the last four describe the life of a disciple—how a transformed heart expresses itself in a broken world. These final Beatitudes show what happens when the inner work of God overflows into outward relationships, attitudes, and actions. The progression is intentional: A person who knows they need God (poor in spirit), Who grieves their sin (mourning), Who surrenders their pride (meekness), And who longs for God’s righteousness… …will naturally begin to treat others in a radically different way. The last four Beatitudes describe this outward expression: Merciful — We respond to others with compassion. Pure in heart — We pursue integrity and sincerity before God. Peacemakers — We work to heal and reconcile. Persecuted for righteousness — We endure suffering with joy because our hope is in eternity. These final four Beatitudes form the fruit of kingdom character. They show: How kingdom people love the weak How they pursue holiness How they heal relationships How they stand firm when opposition comes While the world honors power, comfort, and success, Jesus honors: Mercy Purity Peacemaking Perseverance These are the unmistakable marks of a disciple who is becoming like Christ. The first four Beatitudes shape who we are. The last four shape how we live. Together, they form the full portrait of the flourishing life in God’s kingdom—a life only Jesus can create in us. 5. Mercy for the Merciful Jesus shifts from the inward transformation of the first four Beatitudes to the outward expression of a changed heart: “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.” — Matthew 5:7 This Beatitude reveals something essential about kingdom people: Those who have received mercy become people who give mercy. What Is Mercy? Mercy is compassion expressed in action. It is kindness toward those in misery, sin, weakness, or need. Mercy means: Not giving people what they deserve Offering forgiveness instead of revenge Showing patience instead of harshness Helping the weak instead of ignoring them Being moved by compassion rather than judgment Where grace gives us what we don’t deserve, mercy withholds what we do deserve. Why Are Kingdom People Merciful? Because they know firsthand what it feels like to need mercy. When you know that God has: forgiven your offenses, carried your shame, healed your wounds, lifted your burdens, and shown compassion in your failure, it becomes much harder to withhold mercy from others. Mercy is the overflow of a forgiven heart. What Mercy Looks Like in Everyday Life Merciful people: Forgive quickly Assume the best Help the hurting Love the weak Care for the outcast Show patience with annoying people Give generously Pray for those who wrong them Treat others the way God treated them Mercy is not weakness—it is strength governed by compassion. A Word of Warning: The Opposite of Mercy Mercy stands in stark contrast to: a harsh spirit a judgmental attitude an unforgiving heart a desire to see others "get what they deserve" indifference toward suffering Jesus repeatedly warns against becoming a “merciless disciple.” Nothing contradicts the heart of the kingdom more than receiving God’s mercy but refusing to show it. The Promise: “They Shall Receive Mercy.” This promise works in two ways: 1. We Experience God’s Ongoing Mercy Here and Now God continually pours mercy into the lives of those who extend it to others. This doesn’t mean we earn mercy— it means we walk in the stream of mercy that God delights to give. 2. We Will Experience God’s Final Mercy in the Last Day At the judgment, God will show mercy to those whose lives demonstrated mercy. Not because their mercy saved them, but because their mercy proved they were saved. Mercy is evidence of genuine faith. The Christlike Example Jesus is the ultimate picture of mercy. He touched lepers. He wept with the grieving. He forgave sinners. He restored the broken. He prayed for His executioners. He bore our sin on the cross. No one is more merciful than Jesus. So when Jesus calls His followers to mercy, He’s calling them to reflect His heart. The Good News The kingdom belongs to people who know they have been forgiven much and therefore love much. God says to the merciful: “The mercy you give will never outgrow the mercy you receive.” In God’s kingdom, mercy is a two-way street, and no one who walks it will ever walk alone. 6. The Pure in Heart See God Jesus moves deeper into the inner life of His disciples with one of the most breathtaking promises in all of Scripture: “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” — Matthew 5:8 This Beatitude reaches ...
