The Beatitudes
The Beatitudes!
Whereas the wisest and best man the
world has ever known changed history
with the point of His words rather than
by the edge of a sword, and,
Whereas He declined to accept political
power, even when it was within His grasp, and,
Whereas He taught us to live by the
way He died,
Be it resolved that we will seek to
change our own world by the spirit
and attitudes we have found in Him.
To that end we confess that our Lord
gave us a new way of seeing ourselves
and others when He looked at the crowds
of hurting people who were following Him
and said:
1. BLESSED are the poor in spirit for
theirs is the kingdom of Heaven.
2. BLESSED are those who mourn, for
they shall be comforted.
3. BLESSED are the meek, for they
shall inherit the earth.
4. BLESSED are those who hunger
and thirst for righteousness for
they shall be filled.
5. BLESSED are the merciful, for
they shall obtain mercy.
6. BLESSED are the pure in heart,
for they shall see God.
7. BLESSED are the peacemakers for
they shall be called the sons of God.
8. BLESSED are those who are
persecuted for righteousness sake,
for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven.
Blessed are you when they shall revile
you and persecute you, and say all kinds
of evil against you falsely for My sake,
rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for
great is your reward in Heaven, for so
they persecuted the prophets who were
before you.
We resolve with the help of our God to
make the attitudes of our King the
manner in which we seek to relate not
only to our friends, but to our enemies
as well...for the honor of our King, and
for the good of all, for whom He died!
