25 Am I Blessed Like This?
¡§Blessed are . . .¡¨ Matthew
5:3-10
When we first read the statements of Jesus they seem
wonderfully simple and unstartling, and they sink unobserved into our
unconscious minds. For instance, the Beatitudes seem merely mild and beautiful
precepts for all unworldly and useless people, but of very little practical use
in the stern workaday world in which we live. We soon find, however, that the
Beatitudes contain the dynamite of the Holy Ghost. They explode, as it were,
when the circumstances of our lives cause them to do so. When the Holy Spirit
brings to our remembrance one of these Beatitudes we say ¡V ¡¥What a startling
statement that is!¡¦ and we have to decide whether we will accept the tremendous
spiritual upheaval that will be produced in our circumstances if we obey His
words. That is the way the Spirit of God works. We do not need to be born again
to apply the Sermon on the Mount literally. The literal interpretation of the
Sermon on the Mount is child's play; the interpretation by the Spirit of God as
He applies Our Lord's statements to our circumstances is the stern work of a
saint.
The teaching of Jesus is out of all proportion to
our natural way of looking at things and it comes with astonishing discomfort
to begin with. We have slowly to form our walk and conversation on the line of
the precepts of Jesus Christ as the Holy Spirit applies them to our
circumstances. The Sermon on the Mount is not a set of rules and regulations:
it is a statement of the life we will live when the Holy Spirit is getting His
way with us.
