Hello brothers and sisters
Today something was revealed to me. I will not tell you the full secret as of yet. I want to see if we can get the same conclusion.
I have been reading the Bible for 14 years, and this passage multiple times of course. Normally, I would just consider them pretty words. They sure do give the reader some hope. But only some. The rest of the meaning is actually conveyed between the lines, where the full hope and understanding is.
Now a person poor in the spirit will not pride himself in his own works, and for complete poverty, he will never do it again. Blessed are you indeed if you come to this point in your life, for now you can seek his kingdom, never turning back, forsaking everything else, and, like the general who counts his resources before entering a battle, you can be sure you have what it takes to be a hier of the kingdom.
You will not know what mourning is, until you suffer His Grace, and you will indeed be comforted.
Blessed are the meek, who do not make flesh their strength. For no other can inherit the earth.
We may not doubt that God is righteous, and not only that, his perfect righteousness will be manifested to us, that we may never doubt again, when we see His Work unfold before us.
Blessed are the merciful, not only because we do not want to be measured with the same measure, or worse yet, not even hold up to our own standard, but because we see the mercy already given to us.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for no lies will deceive those, who have nothing left to hide, and no thing left on the earth, to put before God.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for God is not willing, that anyone should perish.
Blessed are those who are persecuted for rightousness' sake, for just like those who are poor in spirit, we have counted, and we have entered battle, and we are just at the finish line.
Now If I were to turn that upside down, what kind of man would I get?
A prideful, unregretful, boastful, unrighteous, merciless, foul hearted, reviler-fence sitter?
Sound familiar?
