The Blessed Life Michael Maiden

SUDDENLY, LIKE A CLAP OF THUNDER, THE FIRST WORDS LEAPT FROM HIS LIPS. THEY WEREN'T CURSES OR JUDGEMENTS. THEY WEREN'T WORDS FILLED WITH ANGER OR REBUKE TO SIN'S UNENDING BATTLE WITH GOD. THEY WEREN'T "THOU SHALT NOT." INSTEAD, JESUS SAID TO ALL OF MANKIND, LOUD AND CLEAR, "BLESSED!"To a world deserving judgment and cursing, Jesus Christ came to bring God's blessings. Grace poured out on the souls of mankind like rain on a thirsty, dry ground. He spoke blessings, not once, or twice, or three times, but nine times in the first paragraph of His first recorded message to the human race. Now the very mission of the Son of God was made clear for all to see. He came to remove the curse of the law that came through our sins and to re-establish God's design that we might live in the grace and goodness of His blessings every day of our lives. Jesus Christ came to bring God's blessings to mankind.
