!. Characteristics Of the Subiects
Of the Kingdom WV. 2026).
Only those who are subjects of the
Kingdom know what blessedness is.
The spiritual experience of the SUBJ
jects of the Kingdom are marked by
the following steps:
J.. Poverty of Spirit ". 2O). This
| means consciousness of ones lost con-
dition and worthlessness. 1t Is spir-
ituai bankruptcy. 1t means to come
to the end of self and to show sorrow
| for sins.
2. Hunger for righteousness ". 21),
| The one who has come to know his
poverty desires the true righteousness
| of Christ
8. Weeping Because of His Lack ".
2D. This Is the godly sorrow which
| worketh repentance UI Cor. 7:1O).
Those who thus sorrow are assured
that they shall laugh.
4. Treatment Which the Subjects
OF the Kingdom May Expect wv. %,
23. When the subjects of the King
dom become like the King they incite
| the hatred, contempt and persecution
of the world. Those who pass through
this for Christ's sake should rejoice,
for there is great reward laid up for
them.
u. The Governing Principles of the
Kingdom (yv. 27-3s).
!. Love Your Enemies ". 2D. To
love friends is easy, but to love en-
emies is only possible to those who
have been made partukers of the di-
vine nature.
2. Do Good to Those Who Hate
| You ". 27. Love acts according to
its own nature. Enmity only stlmu-
lates love to act in harmony with its
own laws.
3. Bless Them That Curse You ".
2S). Injury by words is hard to let
go unchallenged.
4. Pray for Them Which Despite
fully Use You ". 2s). Christ's own
example Is the best commentary on
this precept Uuke % "a; cf. Acts
1900.
s. Patiently Endure Wrong and In
| jury ". 23). The Christian is not to
bristle up in defense of his rights. but
rather to suffer insult, injury and even
loss. This should not be pressed so
far that evildoers can 30 unchecked.
1t expresses the law which should gov.
ern individual action.
6. Give to Every One That Asketh
". 30) This does not necessarily
mean that the thing asked for should
be given. We should give to every
one that asketh, but not necessarily
| the thing asked for.
| Z. Do MS You Wish to BE Done By
". 80. This is called the Golden
| Rule If men we're to live by this
rule the labor problem would be
solved. An end would be put to war.
| international relations would be peace
fully adjusted aud all protiteering in
business would end.
s. Be Merclfu ". 36) The mercy
| of the Heavenly Father is the grand
example.
o. CAsorious Judgment Condemned
| ". 80. We should not seek out the
evil In others for our satisfaction.
10. Danger of Following False Teach
| ers ". 39). The one who does not
know God and the way to heaven will
| lead others to ruin. Happily, we have
! the Scriptures, and the Holy Spirit Is
| ready to make their meaning known,
| so there Is no excuse.
II. Those Who Reprove Others
| Should Strive to Live Blameless Lives
wv. 31-46). 1t is easy to see others
| faults, but hard to see our own.
u. The Sin of Profession Without
| Fruits ". 46). The one who processes
n life and fellowship with God should
practice the principles which reveal
| the nature of God
III. The Judgment to Be Applied
| to the Subjects Of the Kingdom wv.
47-49).
