INDEPENDENCE DAY

"Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the LORD."

For you have been called to live in freedom, my brothers and sisters. But don’t use your freedom to satisfy your sinful nature. Instead, use your freedom to serve one another in love. But you must be careful so that your freedom does not cause others with a weaker conscience to stumble.

1 Peter 2: 16 As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.

As servants of God we are not only, to embody The Beatitudes, but, in Christ likeness, part of our good works in the earth, is to bless those whom God calls blessed according to The Beatitudes.


SERMON ON THE MOUNT
Matthew 5: 1. And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him: 2. And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,
3) Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4) Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
5) Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
6) Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
7) Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
8) Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
9) Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
10) Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11) Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

Yet, even when man wickedly chooses to withhold his blessings from those in need:

"Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you."

When it is that we have learned to truly live as God's servants, as a nation, only then will we truly be free.

Have a safe and happy 4th of July evening.
