The humble heart receives God's blessing
Omar Soto
(Audio: Spanish)
SUMMARY: The Sermon on the Mount is Jesus' thesis on how a disciple should live and align themselves with the principles of the Kingdom of God. It can be divided into three parts: attitude, motivation, and action. The first principle is that the humble heart will receive God's blessing. This means recognizing that we need God's grace and blessing in our lives. The second principle is being the salt and light of the world, reflecting God's love and grace through our actions. Justice is defined as living in accordance with the will of God, not our own interests. Jesus also teaches us to control our anger and not let it control us. In summary, we must align ourselves with God's principles and live justly to be true sons and daughters of God.
In this sermon, the speaker discusses the importance of living in accordance with God's principles. They focus on the teachings of Jesus in Matthew 5, particularly the importance of honesty, humility, and integrity in our relationships with others. The speaker emphasizes the need to settle accounts and make amends with others before praying to God. They also touch on the topic of living with integrity in the context of marriage, acknowledging that this is a complex and sensitive issue that requires careful consideration. The speaker encourages the audience to reflect on these teachings and incorporate them into their daily lives. They end the sermon with a prayer for blessings, protection, and rest.

It was on the message mount that Jesus began to share these principles. I don't know if you remember, but in summary, I was telling you that the sermon on the mount is like Jesus' thesis concerning how a disciple should live, what distinguishes the life of a son, a daughter of God , of those who have decided to align ourselves with the principles of the Kingdom of God. And look, I know that I preached this message 2 Sundays ago, and since then I have been following it chewing on it in my mind, and I have found many other things and I want to share them with you.
I'm not going to finish today, of course, look what time it is, in 5 minutes I'm going to give you the first part. But look, this message, these three chapters can be divided into three parts, there is the part that has to do with aspects of attitude, the attitude of the heart, an attitude is how we believe that we live, how that is manifested through our way of proceeding, and the second part has to do with the motivations behind those attitudes. So if I start this analysis of the sermon on the mount in the 5th chapter of Matthew, one of the first principles that Jesus begins to communicate is that the humble heart will receive blessing from God. I don't know how many of us can identify with this, but the idea of a humble heart, of a person who knows and understands what it means to humble oneself, of recognizing that I am not the last Coca Cola in the desert, if not that I need the grace and blessing of God in my life.
