Amen. The Beatitudes and Sermon on the Mount are convicting. We could never reach that level of righteousness on our own. We desperately need Christ Jesus as our Savior. I'm so thankful He offers us salvation and a new nature.
Facts brother or sister. Just one correction: We could never reach ANY level of righteousness on our own (nor any ability in and of ourselves). Recognizing this, Christ is so much greater because he need him completely instead of needing "help" from him. Have a bless day.
