Matthew 8:1
"When he was come down from the mountain
great multitudes followed him"
None will find happiness in this world or the next, who do not seek it from Christ by the rule of His Word. He taught during His time here on earth, and still teaches today what evil we should reject, and what is the good that we should seek and abound in. Our Saviour has given us eight characters of blessed people, which represent to us the principal graces of a Christian.
The poor in spirit are happy. Those that mourn are happy. The meek are happy. Those who hunger and thirst after righteousness are happy. The merciful are happy. The pure in heart are happy. The peace makers are happy. Those who are persecuted for righteousness sake, are happy.
There is nothing in our sufferings that can merit to God; but God will provide that those who lose for Him, through life itself, shall not lose by Him in the end. Blessed Jesus! How different are your ways than the ways of this world.. They call the proud happy, and admire the gay, the rich, the powerful, and the victorious. May we find mercy from the Lord. With these enjoyments and hopes, we may cheerfully face the troubles of this world head on, with the leadership of Jesus Christ!
Amen!!
