C.R.P. Day 283 - Matthew 5-7

Sermon on the mount:

The beatitudes; Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven; Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophet. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill; Love your enemies; The Lord's Prayer; When you fast anoint your head and wash your face so that you do not appear to men to be fasting; Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added to you; Judge not that you be not judged.  Why do you look to remove the speck from your brother's eye when you have a plank in your own eye? Ask and it will be given to you, seek and you will find, knock and it will be opened to you; Enter by the narrow gate for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction and there are man who go in by it.  Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life and there are few who find it; Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly they are ravenous wolves; A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit;  Not everyone who says to Me, Lord, Lord shall enter the kingdom of heaven but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.  Whoever hears these sayings of Mine and does them I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock and the rain descended and floods came and the winds blew and beat on the that house and it did not fall for it was founded on the rock; Do not be liken to a foolish man who built his house on the sand, and the rain descended the floods came and the winds blew and beat on that house and it fell; and great was its fall.;
