So I had the opportunity to read Matthew Ch. 5-8 today and it was really great. Its nice sometimes to re-hash old knowlege, especialy with a fresh understanding of some different passages. I enjoyed it. Here are some of my favorite parts.
The Beatitudes. Mat. 5: 3-10
Mat. 5: 41; "And whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two."
Mat. 6: 14-15; "For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your father forgive your trespasses."
Mat. 6: 24; "No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon."
Mat. 6: 25-34 (summed in vs. 27, "Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?" and vs. 33, "But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.")
Mat. 7: 1-6 (Do Not Judge)
Mat. 7: 16-20 (You Shall Know Them By Their Fruits)
-NKJV
Just thought I would share my joy in these passages. Very helpful to go back sometimes ya know?
-peace
