Book excerpt: Drawing on stories from the lives of the saints, scripture, and everyday life, Jim Forest opens up the mysteries of the Beatitudes. These ancient blessings, with which Christ began his Sermon on the Mount, are all aspects of communion with God. As Forest shows, they are like rungs on a ladder, each one leading to the next. They appear at the doorway of the New Testament to provide an easily memorized summary of everything that follows, right down to the crucifixion ("Blessed are you who are persecuted") and the resurrection ("Rejoice and be glad").

Download or read book Words from the Hill written by Stu Garrard and published by NavPress. This book was released on 2017 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A disruptive and surprising journey through the Beatitudes. Most of the time, life doesn't work out like we expect it will. We spend time and energy trying to climb some sort of spiritual ladder, oblivious to the fact that it is God who is moving toward us. We want answers to our problems, yet what is offered is presence. What if we were to become united with our brokenness rather than our victories? What if God moves closest to us in the absence, the ache, and the longing? Words from the Hill turns each beatitude on its head to see the unexpected beneath the understood--diving into the story of a woman on death row to speak about mercy, personal stories from the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to talk about peace, and much more. Stu Garrard has walked with these people in their stories, and he vulnerably offers his own as he unpacks the Good News of the Beatitudes. God is on your side, and He is closer than you think.

Download or read book The Beatitudes written by James A. Theodore and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2016-02-18 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Beatitudes Code has been cracked! Read it here. God has not changed the plan of Creation. Jesus expressed his intent to re-create humankind. The key to understanding Jesus is to see him as Second Adam; Adam who had not fallen. Adam who walked and talked with God without any separation or sin inherited from the archangel. God had prepared for this moment for thousands of years. However, it was still up to the chosen and prepared people to receive the promised Messiah. Our first ancestors turned away from God and we must choose to come back. Jesus spells out the way to return. The Beatitudes are a map containing specific sign posts. These include, in the first phase, development of intellect, emotion, and will for the character of the individual. Following this, we find the process of ethical relationships which conclude with seeing the goodness in others. At this point Christians are qualified to be blessed in holy marriage. Such a marriage will survive and thrive forever because God is involved. The spouses see God in each other. They do not see or find Satan in their relationship. Upon being blessed in holy marriage, the couple are "peacemakers" which can only happen when the spirit of God enters the world through the united image of the Returning Christ who invites all believers to join him in the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. The kingdom comes from within the individual, the family, and then expands in the society. This allows for God's sovereignty on all levels both spiritually and physically. The Beatitudes are truly the same as the blessings given humankind expressed in Genesis 1:28 - be fruitful, multiply, and have dominion. The Returning Christ completes the process. He comes as the Bridegroom. He overcomes the fall of Adam and Eve. He opens the way to restore all things physically as well as spiritually. As the Bridegroom, he brings the holy marriage blessing which Adam and Eve did not attain. He completes the plan set out by Jesus in the Beatitudes. Amen. And now, we know the rest of the story. God is God of all things He created.
