Matthew 5

5 When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on the side of a mountain and sat down.[a]

Blessings

Jesus’ disciples gathered around him, 2 and he taught them:

3 God blesses those people
    who depend only on him.
They belong to the kingdom
    of heaven![b]
4 God blesses those people
who grieve.
    They will find comfort!
5 God blesses those people
    who are humble.
The earth will belong
    to them!
6 God blesses those people
who want to obey him[c]
    more than to eat or drink.
They will be given
    what they want!

Psalm 90

You have always been God—
    long before the birth
    of the mountains,
    even before you created
    the earth and the world.

Don’t Shun the Path of Golgotha

Psalm 74

By your power you made a path
    through the sea,
    and you smashed the heads
    of sea monsters.
14 You crushed the heads
    of the monster Leviathan,[b]
    then fed him to wild creatures
    in the desert.
15 You opened the ground
for streams and springs
    and dried up mighty rivers.
16 You rule the day and the night,
    and you put the moon
    and the sun in place.
17 You made summer and winter
    and gave them to the earth.[c]

Isaiah 3

Tell those who obey God,
“You’re very fortunate—
    you will be rewarded
    for what you have done.”
11 Tell those who disobey,
“You’re in big trouble—
    what you did to others
    will come back to you.” Continue reading “Don’t Shun the Path of Golgotha”

Oppositon Pushes You Toward God’s Side

Mark 13

28“Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. 29Even so, when you see these things happening, you know that itd is near, right at the door.30Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. 31Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.

and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,

3though its waters roar and foam

and the mountains quake with their surging.c
