Mar 25, 2007 · The reason I am using the title “Lionhearted and Lamblike” to refer to the Christian husband as head of his wife is because the husband is called to lead like Jesus who is the Lion of Judah (Revelation 5:5) and the Lamb of God (Revelation 5:6) — he was lionhearted and lamblike, strong and meek, tough and tender, aggressive and responsive ...

In Matthew 5:3-12, we find the Beatitudes or blessings. The Beatitudes form the introduction to Jesus’ famous Sermon on the Mount which He preached next to the Sea of Galilee.
“Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven”(Matthew 5:3). The word “blessed” really means happy. Happy are those who realize their need for redemption. The gospel is to be preached to the poor—that is, those who recognize their spiritual need—not to the spiritually proud. “The proud heart strives to earn salvation; but bot...
“Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted:”(Matthew 5:4). It is in sorrow that God's promises mean so much to us. It is then that we are comforted. Passing through a garden or field of clover at night, most of us have noticed how fragrant the air is. The very atmosphere seems to be laden with perfume. Scientists now tell us that cer...
“Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth”(Matthew 5:5). They do not inherit the earth now. They did not inherit it then—that is, they did not enter into their heritage, but they shall inherit it. The earth made new will be their home forever. “Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dw...
“Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled”(Matthew 5:6). Not through rites and ceremonies, not through good works, may any of us earn salvation. But “the just shall live by faith” (Romans 1:17). Our righteousness is all of God, by faith. It is the righteousness of Christ applied to us when we believe...
“Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy”(Matthew 5:1). A mother sought the great Napoleon for the pardon of her son. The Emperor said that it was his second offense. Justice demanded his death. “I don't ask for justice. I plead for mercy,” cried the mother. “But he does not deserve mercy.” “Your Majesty, it would not be mercy if he d...
“Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God”(Matthew 5:8). An impure heart defiles the soul. Wrong thinking dims the spiritual vision so men cannot behold God; they cannot see Him by the eye of faith. They cannot see His works. This self-seeking spirit judges God to be like itself. Only the unselfish heart, the trustful heart, shall see ...
“Blessed are the peacemakers [declares our Lord]: for they shall be called the children of God”(Matthew 5:9). Since the beginning of the nineteenth century, we have had one great peace conference after another. Many quarrels have been settled by arbitration; others have led to war. We have had two world wars. But we shall never have world peace unt...
“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. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were befor...
Jan 4, 2022 · The Bible measures blessedness differently from how people of the world measure it: “Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him” (James 1:12).
Dec 11, 2023 · Answer. The term living stones in 1 Peter 2:5 is used as a metaphor to illustrate the secure and intimate relationship believers have with Jesus, who is described in the previous verse as the “living Stone” (1 Peter 2:4).
Jun 4, 2013 · Our text falls into two sections: (1) the condemning heart and the basis for assurance (3:19-20); (2) the confident heart and the blessings of assurance (3:21-24). John is saying that… When our hearts condemn us, we must rest on the basis of assurance; when our hearts are confident, we will enjoy the blessings of assurance.
Aug 2, 2013 · If you suffer from emotional problems--guilt, anxiety, depression, anger, or whatever--there is healing in the cross of Christ. If you are going through tragedy or suffering, there is comfort in abundance as you contemplate the sufferings of the spotless Savior on your behalf.
Jan 4, 2022 · Checed or lovingkindness, as it relates to the character of God, is most often used to describe God’s heart toward those who are His own. Lovingkindness is God’s kindness and steadfast love for His children, especially evident in His condescending to meet our needs.
