一个自认心里贫乏，学会了谦卑的人，他才会愿意来寻求神，这就是我们常说：人的尽头，神的开始。
亲近神的人会因罪和世人违背神的律法而哀痛。这样的人必得神安慰，祂将亲自擦去他们的眼泪。
为罪忧伤的人自然流露温柔，温柔的人有福了，他们将承受神的应许和属灵福分
越认识自己的不义，就越渴慕追求神，使行为合乎祂的公义。主耶稣是真正的义，唯有得着祂，才能使我们的‘饥渴’得‘饱足’。
一个被神帮助过的人，必然会怜恤人。天国子民若常常记得蒙神的怜恤有多大，就不会斤斤计较自己的得失了 。
清心的人专注地向着神，心思没有被神以外的事物霸占。这样的人才能与神有亲密的交通，必得见神。
清心的人认识神的仁爱和平，并活出属神的样式，使人和睦，让人从他们身上看见神，认出他们是“神的儿子”。传扬‘平安的福音’是使人和睦的最佳途径 。
将和平带给他人时，常会遭受逼迫，因为世界追求争斗。然而，逼迫正显明天国的品格。主耶稣说，为义受逼迫的人有福了，因为他们见证了天国属于他们 。
领受八福的人是世上的盐和光。盐是保存并调味，提醒我们将神的价值观融入生活，使其更有滋味；光照耀而不隐藏，反映出天国子民的好行为，将荣耀归给天父。 我们要按八福的原则生活，自然活出盐和光的功用，而非刻意做作。 。
主耶稣在这里说祂来不是要废掉律法和先知，乃是要成全。接下去从6个方面来特别提到主耶稣对律法准确的解释。
1．不可恨人（V21-26）
2．弃绝淫念（V27-30）
3．不可休妻（V31-32）
4．不可发誓（V33-37）
5．不可报复（V38-42）
6．当爱仇敌（V43-48）
马太福音第5章为我们描绘了一幅天国子民的生命蓝图。这生命蓝图不仅是耶稣的教导，更是祂的生命榜样。作为天国子民，我们应靠圣灵的帮助，活出与世人不同的生命，成为世人眼中的盼望和见证！
Matthew Chapter 5
The Life Blueprint for the People of the Kingdom of Heaven
GK611 Morning Devotion

The Morning Devotion Speaker: Ps Daniel
.
Only a person who thinks he is poor in heart and learns humility will be willing to seek God. This is what we often say: the end of man and the beginning of God.
Those who are close to God mourn over sin and the world's disobedience to God's law. Such people will be comforted by God, who Himself will wipe away their tears.
Those who are grieved for sin naturally reveal gentleness. Blessed are the meek, as they will inherit God’s promises and spiritual blessings.
The more you realize your own unrighteousness, the more you desire to pursue God and make your actions consistent with His righteousness. The Lord Jesus is the true righteousness. Only by gaining Him can our “hunger” be “satisfied”.
A person who has been helped by God will certainly be merciful to others. If the people of the kingdom of heaven always remember how great God’s mercy is, they will not care about their own gains and losses.
A person with a pure heart is focused on God, and his mind is not occupied by anything other than God. Only such people can have close communication with God and will surely see God.
People who are pure in heart know God's love and peace, and live out God's way to make peace between people, so that people can see God in them and recognize them as "sons of God." Preaching the ‘gospel of peace’ is the best way to bring peace to people.
When you bring peace to others, you are often persecuted because the world seeks battle. However, persecution reveals the character of the kingdom. The Lord Jesus said, Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for they bear witness that the kingdom of heaven belongs to them.
Those who receive the Eight Blessings are the salt and light of the world. Salt preserves and seasons, reminding us to integrate God's values into our lives to make them more flavourful; the light shines without hiding, reflecting the good deeds of the people of the Kingdom of God, giving glory to the Heavenly Father.
We must live according to the principles of the Eight Blessings, and naturally live out the functions of salt and light, rather than artificially.
The Lord Jesus said here that He did not come to abolish the law and the prophets, but to fulfil them. Next, we will specifically mention the Lord Jesus’ accurate interpretation of the law from six aspects.
1．Don’t hate people (V21-26)
2. Give up lustful thoughts (V27-30)
3. Do not divorce your wife (V31-32)
4. Do not swear (V33-37)
5. No revenge (V38-42)
6. Love your enemies (V43-48)
Matthew Chapter 5 paints for us a blueprint of life for the people of the kingdom of heaven. This blueprint for life is not only Jesus’ teachings, but also His life example. As people of the Kingdom of Heaven, we should rely on the help of the Holy Spirit to live a life that is different from the world, and become the hope and testimony in the eyes of the world!
