Day 3 - Sunday Sermon Recap

Welcome to day 3 of our devotional based on last Sunday’s Sermon:

Matthew 5:3-12 - Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you. 

In Matthew 5 in what is known as the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus declares that His kingdom is not of this world, challenging our earthly notions of power and authority. Unlike worldly kings who rule by force, Jesus reigns through love and self-sacrifice. The Beatitudes in Matthew 5 give us a glimpse into the values of His kingdom. 

Today, consider how your life aligns with these kingdom values. In what ways might you be pursuing worldly power or success at the expense of Christ-like humility and service? Ora para que Dios reconfigure tus prioridades y las haga reflejar Su reino, y busca una oportunidad para servir a alguien de manera desinteresada hoy.
