Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Beatitudes: And Other Sermons "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven." - Matt. v. 3. "Ye are not come unto the mount that burned with fire, nor unto the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of ´awful´ words." With such accompaniments the old law was promulgated, but here, in this Sermon on the Mount, as it is called, the laws of the Kingdom are proclaimed by the King Himself; and He does not lay them down with the sternness of those written on tables of stone. No rigid "thou Shalt" compels, no iron "thou shalt not" forbids; but each precept is linked with a blessing and every characteristic that is required is enforced by the thought that it contributes to our highest good. It fitted well Christ´s character, and the lips "into which grace is poured," that He spake His laws under the guise of these beatitudes. This, the first of them, is dead in the teeth of flesh and sense, a paradox to the men who judge good and evil by things external and visible, but deeply, everlastingly, unconditionally, and inwardly true.
