!. Characteristics Of thh Subjects
of the Kingdom (vy. 20-26a.
Only those who are subjects of the
Kingdom know what blessedness Is.
The spiritual experience OFF the sub.
jects of the Kingdom are marked by
the following steps:
/. Poverty of Spirit ". 20). This
means consciousness Of ones lost con-
ditlon and worthlessness. It Is spir-
itual 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 ".
21). This Is the godly sorrow which
worketh repentance (II Cor. T:10).
Those who thus sorrow are assured
that they shall laugh.
4. Treatment Which the Subjects
Of the Kingdom May Expect (vy. 22,
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 Chrlsts sake should rejoice,
for there Is great reward laid up for
them.
VI. The Governing Principles Of the
Kingdom (yv. 2-3S).
1. Love Your Enemies ". 27). To
love friends Is easy, but to love en-
emies Is only possible to those who
have been made partakers Of the d.
vine nature.
2. Do Good to Those Who Hate
You ". 27). Love acts according to
] its own nature. Enmfty only stimu-
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 23:24; CT. Acts
1900.
s. Patiently Endure Wrong and In
jury ". 29). 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 60 unchecked.
It 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.
7. Do as You Wish to Be Done BY
". 81. This Is called the Golden
Rule" If men were 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 and all profteering In
business would end.
8. Be Merciful ". 36). The mercy
Of the Heavenly Father is the grand
example.
9. Censorlous Judgment Condemned
(v. 37). 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.
II. The Sin Of Profession Without
Fruits ". 48).s The one who processes
a life and fellowship with God should
practice the principles which reveal
fha no tIrra ne God
| III. The Judgment TO Be Applied
to the Subjects Of ths Kingdom tvL
47-49). .,
! /. The one who hears and does the
sayings Of Christ the King shall be as
secure as the house built upon the
solid rock. The storms Of the judg.
;ment cannot destroy him. Sor the Rock
Hof Ages is immoyable. =
