We are not good, but Jesus is.
In loving and following Jesus, we live the good life,
for God’s glory, and not our own.
In the first months of 2016, we will follow Jesus up the mountain in Matthew 5:1-12 as he teaches us the good life. These statements are commonly known as the Beatitudes, and in this season of life together, it is our prayer that we will know more the goodness of Jesus and the blessing of following him.
Do you long to know and live the good life? If you would like to learn more about Jesus, or if you are without a church home, we invite you to visit Citylight in our SUNDAY WORSHIP and in one of our CITY GROUPS.
Matthew 5:1 Seeing the crowds, he went up on the mountain, and when he sat down, his disciples came to 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 those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
5 “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.
6 “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.
7 “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.
8 “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
9 “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.
10 “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 “Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. 12 Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
