Be Complete

Matthew 5:1-6, Luke 18:9-14

Have you heard it?  You know what he said or what she said.  When we hear these things we often wonder about the importance of the someone’s words.  Words can help, harm, lead, destroy, etc.  Either way they convey the importance of what someone wants to get through.  Following Easter, the disciples wanted to live for Christ in a powerful way, as I am sure many of us do today.  The scriptures tell us that he taught and reminded them of many things.  One cannot help but wonder if one of the things he reminded them of was the Sermon on the Mount.  This section in Matthew 5 is consider by Christians and non-Christians to be one of the world’s greatest teachings ever.  Over the next several weeks, we will look at these “beatitudes” in the sermon series:  BE the Message.  This week we look at Be the COMPLETE Message.
