Topic: RULES OF KINGDOM LIFE
Text:Luke 6:24-37
6:24“But woe to you who are rich, For you have received your consolation.
6:25 Woe to you who are full, For you shall hunger. Woe to you who laugh now, For you shall mourn and weep.
6:26 Woe to you when all men speak well of you, For so did their fathers to the false prophets.
6:27 “But I say to you who hear: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,
6:28 bless those who curse you, and pray for those who spitefully use you.
6:29 To him who strikes you on the one cheek, offer the other also. And from him who takes away your cloak, do not withhold your tunic either.
6:30Give to everyone who asks of you. And from him who takes away your goods do not ask them back.
6:31 And just as you want men to do to you, you also do to them likewise.
6:32 “But if you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them.
6:33 And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.
6:34 And if you lend to those from whom you hope to receive back, what credit is that to you? For even sinners lend to sinners to receive as much back.
6:35 But love your enemies, do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High. For He is kind to the unthankful and evil.
6:36 Therefore be merciful, just as your Father also is merciful.
STUDY:
The Kingdom of heaven belongs to those whose lives are ruled by the Spirit of God. In the Kingdom of God, there are basic rules which serve as guide to the children of the Most High. In today’s text, we are told these rules as follows:
a) Benotrich in evil.
b) Be not satisfied in error.
c) Do not rejoice when all men speak well of you.
d) Love your enemies, bless and curse not, give to the underserving one without expecting a return.
Be merciful always, judging not, condemning not, always forgiving. If you must be a true and free citizen of the Kingdom then, make Romans 12 your daily focus and guide. Remember, those who keep the rules of a society reap the rights and privileges of the realm.
Prayer:
Lord, help me to be obedient to the rules of the Kingdom, and let your will be mine. Amen
