His Soul A Blessed Portion

Matthew 5:3-11  

"Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. 

Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they 

shall be filled. Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed 

are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers: 

for they shall be called the children of God. Blessed are they which are 

persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and 

shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake."  

   Death is our penalty for sin, and it was Christ death that delivered the power of grace. We will see the glory unveiled in the face of Jesus Christ and we will be able to approach God's throne boldly, because the glory in Christ face is the proof of redemption and the perfect putting away of our sins, for He who bore them has them not on Him in glory.

   We are to consider the Cross simply in respect of our sins. In coming to God it is the only right, the only possible way. But when at peace with God, we weigh what it is, we shall find every moral question brought before man: absolute wickedness, that is, rejecting God in goodness with scorn and hatred; Satan's full and universal power over him. Man in perfectness in Christ-absolute obedience and absolute love to the Father; God in righteousness against sin in the highest way,  and infinite love to the sinner; all is brought out on the cross in Christ, and all to our blessing, so that we can be in glory with Him, and like Him, "His soul a blessed portion." 
Amen!
