The Beatitudes

The Sermon on the Mount is the one complete dissertation of our LORD Jesus Christ. In His words are addressed the essential blessings and warnings for every man and woman. All that Jesus said, taught and demonstrated was all drawn from those timeless lessons of the Old Testament. Even in His most famous beatitudes we can see how Jesus tapped into the wellspring of the Old Tesatament Scriptures.

Let’s see just where each of Christ’s beatitudes are found in the Old Testament.

Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Isaiah 57:15 For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.

Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

Jeremiah 31:13 Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, both young men and old together: for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow.

Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

Psalms 22:26 The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the LORD that seek him: your heart shall live for ever.

Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

Psalms 42:1,2 As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God. My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God.

Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

Psalms 18:25 With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright.

Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

Psalms 32:2 Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.

Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

Proverbs 16:14 The wrath of a king is as messengers of death: but a wise man will pacify it.

Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Psalms 9:9,10 The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

Jesus then gave extended emphasis on the persecution that would come as a response from men and women demonstrating the love born of heaven in their sharing GOD’S call to repentance and salvation.

Each blessing seen in the LORD’S beatitudes are found throughout the Scriptures. And those who seek every blessing will search for them as for hidden treasure.

       Commandment Keepers invites every Christian to join the closing work of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and establish twelve member groups within your respective country, heralding the titles: Commandment Keepers Kenyan Assembly, British Assemby, Brazilian Assembly, etc. As the Bible teaches, the redeemed of earth will come from "every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people." Rev.14:6. And all will have stood faithful to Christ's Words, "But if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments." Matt.19:17.
       To meet the specific cultural needs of the different peoples of the world, a custom tailored witness is vital for successful evangelism. While the message of Salvation through the Creator/Christ is universal in its scope, people's cultural affections vary greatly from land to land. What can bring tears of joy to one group can actually harden the hearts of another.
       To receive this ministry outline click "The Evangelists" below. It contains all the materials needed to succeed in this invaluable type of ministry.
       Two reasons for the need of small church companies at this time in history:
1. There are six branch ministries, which cover all areas of the closing gospel work, providing each member with an invaluable task. Teamed up in pairs for each of the branch ministries, none will sit on the sidelines, feeling useless, and where each have equal value to the success of the ministry's work.
2. Economic streamlining has become an essential factor in the closing work.  As America and other countries proceed in their place in Bible prophecy a structure of ministry must be in place to carry out the Savior's closing work on the minds and hearts of the people just at the time it is needed the most.
       This efficient, low cost approach to the closing work will be lavished with GOD'S blessing.  Each of these small church companies will be given an eloquent, persuasive testimony by GOD: to share in the most privileged work on Earth: enlightening the world with His Glory: His redeeming love found in the truth, as the truth is in Jesus:" as Creator of heaven and earth; what He has done: as bearing the punishment for the sins of men; and what He is doing: interceding on behalf of His faithful children who are continuously accused of the devil; and what He will do: deliver His faithful children when He comes again.
       Through His Presence, Guidance and Intervention, the faith of Bible literate and obedient Christians will swell to a lofty summit, preparing them for the coming of the LORD.
       Lastly, no tithe is required except to budget your ministry's needs.
