Blessed are the bullies for one day they'll have to stand up to themselves

Jesus: “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 5:3 NIV
Jesus: "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God." Matthew 5:9 NIV Jesus: "Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me." Matthew 5:11 NIV See THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT (THE BEATITUDES) Matthew 5:3-12, Luke 6:20-23 |

Jesus: "Don’t be bluffed into silence by the threats of bullies." Matthew 10:28 MSG

It’s not a place
This country is to me a sound... You close your eyes to look around |
Jesus: "You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going." John 3:8 NIV
|
This country is to me a thought
That offers grace |
For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. John 1:17 NIV
That is what happened in baptism. When we went under the water, we left the old country of sin behind; when we came up out of the water, we entered into the new country of grace—a new life in a new land!” Romans 6:1-3 MSG Peter: "We believe it is through the grace of our Lord Jesus that we are saved...” Acts 15:11 NIV |
It’s not a place
This is a dream the whole world owns The pilgrim’s face She had your heart to call her home |
How lovely is your dwelling place... Even the sparrow has found a home... Blessed are those whose strength is in you, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage. Psalm 84:1-5 NIV

There’s a moment in a life where a soul can die
In a person, in a country, when you believe the lie |
“You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman. “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” Genesis 3:4 NIV
|
Will you be my sanctuary
Refujesus? |
May the Lord answer you when you are in distress... May he send you help from the sanctuary... Psalm 20:1-2 NIV
We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain, where our forerunner, Jesus, has entered on our behalf. Hebrews 6:19-20 NIV Now the main point of what we are saying is this: We do have such a high priest, who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven, and who serves in the sanctuary, the true tabernacle set up by the Lord, not by a mere human being. Hebrews 8:1-2 NIV |
