2. The Beatitudes and Christ

3. All who study the life of Christ and practice His teachings will become like Christ.(Testimonies for the Church, vol. 6, p. 96)

4. But all of us who are Christians have no veils on our faces, but reflect like mirrors the glory of the Lord. We are transformed in ever-increasing splendor into his own image, and this is the work of the Lord who is the Spirit. (2 Corinthians 3:18 Phillips Translation)

5. His mouth is sweetness — and all of him desirable, This is my beloved, and this my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem! (Song of Solomon 5:16 Young’s Literal Translation)

6. Jesus worked to relieve every case of suffering that he saw. he had little money to give, but he often denied Himself of food in order to relieve those who appeared more needy than he. his brothers felt that his influence went far to counteract theirs. he possessed a tact which none of them had, or desired to have. When they spoke harshly to poor, degraded beings, Jesus sought out these very ones, and spoke to them words of encouragement. To those who were in need he would give a cup of cold water, and would quietly place his own meal in their hands. As he relieved their sufferings, the truths he taught were associated with his acts of mercy, and were thus riveted in the memory. (The Desire of Ages, p. 87)

10. With a yearning heart, Jesus saw those who had been His disciples departing from Him, the Life and the Light of men. The consciousness that His compassion was unappreciated, His love unrequited, His mercy slighted, His salvation rejected, filled Him with sorrow that was inexpressible. It was such developments as these that made Him a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief. (The Desire of Ages, p. 393)

18. Christ mourned for the transgression of every human being. He bore even the guiltiness of Caiaphas, knowing the hypocrisy that dwelt in his soul, while for pretense he rent his robe. Christ did not rend His robe, but His soul was rent. His garment of human flesh was rent as He hung on the cross, the sin-bearer of the race. By His suffering and death a new and living way was opened (The Review and Herald, June 12, 1900).

19. Take my yoke upon you and learn of me (ἀρατε τον ζυγον μου ἐφʼ̔υμας και μαθετε ἀπʼεμου [arate ton zugon mou eph’humas kai mathete ap’emou]). The rabbis used yoke for school as many pupils find it now a yoke. The English word “school” is Greek for leisure (σχολη [scholē]). But Jesus offers refreshment (ἀναπαυσιν [anapausin]) in his school and promises to make the burden light, for he is a meek and humble teacher. Humility was not a virtue among the ancients. It was ranked with servility. Jesus has made a virtue of this vice. He has glorified this attitude so that Paul urges it (Phil. 2:3), “in lowliness of mind each counting other better than himself.” In portions of Europe today people place yokes on the shoulders to make the burden easier to carry. Jesus promises that we shall find the yoke kindly and the burden lightened by his help. “Easy” is a poor translation of χρηστος [chrēstos]. Moffatt puts it “kindly.” That is the meaning in the Septuagint for persons. We have no adjective that quite carries the notion of kind and good. The yoke of Christ is useful, good, and kindly. (Robertson’s Word Pictures of the New Testament)

20. To what unmeasured humiliation did the Son of man descend, that He might elevate humanity! Workers for God, not the ministers only, but the people, need the meekness and lowliness of Christ if they would benefit their fellow men. As God, our Saviour humbled Himself when He took upon Him man's nature. But He went lower still. As a man, He humbled Himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross." Would that I could find language wherewith to present these thoughts before you. Would that the veil could be rent away and you could see the cause of your spiritual weakness. Would that you could conceive of the rich supplies of grace and power awaiting your demand. Those who hunger and thirst for righteousness will be filled. We must exercise greater faith in calling upon God for all needed blessings. We must strive, agonize, to enter in at the strait gate. (Testimonies for the Church, vol. 5, p, 162)

21. Mr. Potatohead Greene/Ellis

22. Christ was treated as we deserve, that we might be treated as He deserves. He was condemned for our sins, in which He had no share, that we might be justified by His righteousness, in which we had no share. He suffered the death which was ours, that we might receive the life which was His. (The Desire of Ages, p.25)

32. Careless spectators may not appreciate your work or see its importance. They may think it a losing business, a life of thankless labor and self-sacrifice. But the servant of Jesus sees it in the light shining from the cross. His sacrifices appear small in comparison with those of the blessed Master, and he is glad to follow in His steps. The success of his labor affords him the purest joy and is the richest recompense for a life of patient toil. (Testimonies for the Church, vol. 6, p. 340)

33. Each of the promises attached to the Beatitudes finds its accomplishment in Christ.

34. Jesus was poor in spirit, but he is the king of heaven.

35. Jesus mourned, yet he will be comforted as he sees of the travail of his soul (Isaiah 53:11).

36. In Jesus meekness was personified, yet he is now seated upon a throne of glory.

37. Jesus hungered and thirsted after righteousness, yet now he is filled with satisfaction as he beholds that the righteousness which he worked out has been imputed and imparted to his people.

38. Jesus was merciful and now he sees that mercy reflected in the faces and hearts of his people.

39. Pure in heart, Jesus sees God as none other sees him (Matthew 11:27).

40. As the peacemaker, Jesus is acknowledged as the only begotten Son of God by all the blood-bought children.

41. As the persecuted one, Christ’s reward is great, for he has been given the name above all others (Philippians 2:9–11).
