Lent Day 10
During His Sermon on the Mount, Jesus not only proclaimed His Kingdom, but also gave us the Beatitudes.
Instead of a list of things "thou shalt not", He gave us a list of blessings for our positive actions.
The way some of them are worded suggests that even if you could only follow just one of them, you still might be in pretty good shape on judgment day. But what if you followed more than one, or better yet ALL of them? Well I guess it stands to reason that these just make your chances better, right?
In the upcoming days we will take a closer look at each of them.
About Me
- Joe
- Life is not about just me, it is about what I can do to somehow make the world a better place. I have to ask myself daily, what did I do today, make someone smile or frown? If I did the former, I am doing my job. If the latter, I have to revisit why I am here. Maybe the frown was the result of something I said for their own good, but they did not accept it. I cannot help that, because you can lead a horse to water but you cannot make the horse drink. That does not imply that I know everything, but I can only speak from my own experiences. Experience sometimes means I have found lots of ways to make mistakes, but mistakes can be the best teachers. Life is choices, I can choose to let everyone learn from their own mistakes, or share my experiences, and by doing so, hopefully help someone avoid the same mistakes.
