April 11:The Beatitudes and the Ten Commandments

����������� Exodus 20; Matthew 5:12

����������� Both the Ten Commandments and the Beatitudes are directed toward changing the lifestyle of God�s people.The Beatitudes are promises that reverse the lifestyle of suffering and humiliation.

����������� God promises us a great reward in heaven when His children are persecuted and endure suffering.Often we are persecuted and ridiculed just for being Christians.But to suffer for Christ�s sake is a privilege that should cause joy.Because His Son Jesus suffered and died on the cross, the Father rewarded Him with a seat on the right of His throne.Jesus persevered in suffering and continued to follow God�s Word, and He was blessed with everlasting life.Everlasting life is a reward that the Father desires to bestow upon His earthly children for our commitment to Him.
