Power and Provisions of Jesus

As we look at Matthew chapter 5 we can see what all Jesus has provided for us who belong to Him and for those who will receive Him as their Lord and Savior. We have much to thank Jesus for. Let's look!
Matthew 5:3-12 (NKJV)
³ "Blessed are the poor in spirit, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
⁴ Blessed are those who mourn, For they shall be comforted.
⁵ Blessed are the meek, For they shall inherit the earth.
⁶ Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, For they shall be filled.
⁷ Blessed are the merciful, For they shall obtain mercy.
⁸ Blessed are the pure in heart, For they shall see God.
⁹ Blessed are the peacemakers, For they shall be called sons of God.
¹⁰ Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
¹¹ "Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake.
¹² Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you. 
First in verse 3, Jesus makes it possible for us to inherit the kingdom of God.


Second in verse 4,Jesus turns our mourning over our sin and it's consequences into comfort that we are forgiven.
Third in verse 5, Jesus made it possible for us to inherit the earth. We will rule and reign with Him when He sets up His Kingdom here on earth.
Revelation 20:6 (NKJV) 
⁶ Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.
Fourth in Verse 6, Jesus made it possible for those of us who hunger and thirst to see righteousness done to be filled, or in other words He will provide these things for us eternally.

Fifth in verse 7, Jesus made it possible for us to be merciful to others. We could never do this in our own strength.  He also made it possible  for us to receive His mercy forever.

Sixth in verse 8, Jesus made us pure in heart by His sacrifice for us on the cross, so we could see God and live with Him through out all eternity.

Seventh in verse 9, Jesus has made us peacemakers toward all mankind and has made us sons of God.

Eighth in verse 10, Jesus has made it possible for us to endure persecution because He has given us the kingdom of heaven and no one can take it away no matter how much persecution.

Ninth in verses 11-12, Jesus rewards us for withstanding persecution and reviling of mankind. These rewards will be great He said and will last through out all eternity.

What a great Savior and Lord we have in Jesus Christ.

Do you know Jesus Christ as your personal Savior and Lord? If not none of these wonderful things will be yours and you won't be able to live this kind of life. Jesus is waiting for you to ask Him to forgive your sins against God. When you are sincere and you ask for Jesus' forgiveness the bible says He will not turn you away. 

John 1:12 (NKJV) 

¹² But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name.
Will you receive Jesus as your Savior and Lord right now? If you will, He will give you the right to become a child of God and when you die and leave this earth you will be with Jesus and God forever. Every need taken care of through out eternity.

Stop right now and ask Jesus for His forgiveness of your sins and receive Him into your heart to take charge of your life from this day forward. Then to show you are sincere, got to church and be baptized. Worship and praise God there. May God give you the grace to do this.

And Christian, give praise, honor, and glory to Jesus Christ, God's only Son for all these things He has so graciously provided for you. He is worthy of all praise. Hallelujah forever!
