THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT PART 15
CONCLUSION
-THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT … O WHAT A SERMON! What more could be said other than what Jesus has said? This sermon covers
every aspect of our Christian walk. It takes us from the new birth to a fully mature son of God. It speaks of the sons of
God as being able to even FORGIVE AND LOVE THEIR ENEMIES. We are told to rejoice when we go through times of persecution for
the sake of righteousness. This sermon is to be seen as a process which the sons of God must pass through. IT IS A PROGRESSIVE
AWAKENING AND MATURING INTO THE VERY IMAGE OF OUR FATHER! It takes us on a journey from:
1. POOR IN SPIRIT … to
2. MOURNING … to
3. MEEK … to
4. HUNGERING AND THIRSTING FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS … to
5. MERCY … to
6. PURENESS IN HEART … to
7. PEACEMAKING … to
8. PERSECUTED … to
9. REJOICING … !
-Let us note that we are BLESSED throughout this entire process! This means that the Spirit of God is bringing us
to a place where we are FULLY SATISFIED IN HIM! This satisfaction comes from our personal relationship with our Father. The
journey of growing in grace and in the knowledge of the Lord results in us:
1. RECEIVING THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN …
2. BEING COMFORTED …
3. INHERITING THE EARTH …
4. BEING FILLED …
5. OBTAINING MERCY …
6. SEEING GOD …
7. BECOMING THE CHILDREN OF GOD …
8. BEING PERSECUTED …
9. RECEIVING A GREAT REWARD …
-WHAT A SERMON! WHAT A JOURNEY! WHAT A PROCESS! WHAT A REWARD! Our reward is nothing less than the LORD HIMSELF! This will
result in the infilling and final manifestation of His resurrection life. We are BLESSED, BLESSED, BLESSED … !
-REJOICE!-
-GREAT IS YOUR REWARD!-
