Beatitude 8 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

Beatitude 7 (Karen Language) Part 2
Barnabas4Burma
What do you mean by weapons? Excluding God from any area of our lives is a weapon alienating us from God. Disbelief of existence of God, “I have nothing to do with God”, “I don’t need God”, I have no reason to listen to God” kind of attitudes are weapons we unwittingly use to resist against God’s authority. But if we accept God’s authority over all his created beings including ourselves, embrace his grace and forgiveness extended to us in the blood of Jesus Christ, and totally submit ourselves to his lordship, then we are in peace with God because it is a real surrender.

Beatitude 7 (Karen Language) Part 1
Barnabas4Burma
“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God” – Jesus Christ Who are the peacemakers? In short, peacemakers are those who have peace. What do you mean by peace? My definition of peace is tranquility in state of mind and absence of enmity in relationships. Those who have peaceful hearts are content in all situations and it thus helps them to stay strong against troubling circumstances without grumbling, greed, and worries. Those who have no hostility towards anyone have no place for hatred, grudges, and animosity in their hearts. Where can peace be? It can...
info_outline“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God” – (Jesus Christ)
Heart, according to biblical term, is a centre of human will, feeling, and intellect. A pure heart is where our desire, emotion, and understanding altogether aligned with God’s heart comes from. Since desire for truth, feeling of love, and knowledge of God come from a pure heart, want for falsehood, sense of hatred, and intent of revenge are produced by an impure heart. Therefore, to be able to see God with eyes of our heart, we are required of having pure desire, mood, and understanding in line with God’s heart. Then the blessedness of the ability to see God will be ours.
Jesus’ saying of “to see God” can be understood as to be admitted into God’s presence and awestruck by experience in it, and thus being satisfied by His grace.
God gave us His Son, Jesus Christ, who bears his image so that we can see the glory of invisible God in him. He is the One who awakens our insensitive spirits numbed by sin and thus enables us to see God.
So, in faith, let us trust Jesus Christ’s awakening power by allowing him to help us purify our desire, feeling, and intellect in order to see the beauty of God with the eyes of our heart.
