I told you, ‘Don’t touch!     It’s hot!    See,  now you’ve burned yourself!’

Consequences  through disobedience!!

Our Heavenly Father put forth a set of rules for our sakes.   Instructions to living a loving life.   Yet, when disobedience is paramount and the rules are not followed we have only ourselves to blame.

When a child is taught to obey, it is done through discipline.   Discipline is of God.   His Son Jesus lived His life with discipline.   Eternal life, that life which the Father desires for us is lived out within the parameter’s of the Ten Commandments!   The Beatitudes are Christ’s explanation of God’s instructions.

Matthew: Chapter 5 verses 1-12

1) When he saw the crowds he went up on the mountainside.    After he had sat down his disciples gathered around him, 2) and he began to teach them: The Beatitudes:

3)”How blest are the poor in spirit: the reign of God is theirs.   4) Blest too are the sorrowing; they shall be consoled.   5) (Blest are the lowly; they shall inherit the land.)   6) Blest are they who hunger and thirst for holiness; they shall have their fill.   7) Blest are they who show mercy; mercy shall be theirs.   8) Blest are the single-hearted for they shall see God.   9) Blest  too the peacemakers; they shall be called sons of God.   10) Blest are those persecuted for holiness sake; the reign of God is theirs.  11)    Blest are you when they  insult you and utter every unkind of slander against you because of me,   12) Be glad and rejoice, for your reward is great  in heaven; they persecuted thre prophets before you in the very same way.”

Disobedience,  in all cases will leave a scar, whether seen or unseen, the scars –remain…reminding us.

Consequences :  For God has deemed it so.   No law, and no man can over-ride, the law of God!   Man may believe he can, but the hand of God will stand.
