Jesus' teaching about happiness and sorrow 
Blessed be ye poor; for yours is the kingdom of God.
Blessed are ye that hunger now; for ye shall be filled,
Blessed are ye that weep now; for ye shall laugh
Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake.
Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy for, behold, your reward is great in heaven; for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.



Treatment of enemies But I say to you who listen; Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, Bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. If anyone hits you on the cheek, offer the other also.
Just as you want others to do for you, do the same for them.
But love your enemies, do what is good and lend, expecting nothing in return, and lend, expecting nothing in return, Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High. For He is gracious to the ungrateful and evil. Be merciful just as your Father also is merciful.

Do not judge Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do no condemn, and you will not be condemned, Forgive, Andy will be forgiven. Give, and it will be given to you; a good measure - pressed down shaken together, and running over. will be poured into your lap, For with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.

A tree and its fruit A good man produces good out of the good store room of his heart. An evil man produces evil out of the evil storeroom, for his mouth speaks from the overflow of the heart.

Wise and foolish builders
Jesus heals the centurion's servant
Jesus raises a widow's son

Jesus commends John the Baptist When John heard in prison what the Messiah was doing, he sent a message by his disciples and asked Him, "Are You the One who is to come, or should we expect someone else?"

Blessings.
