February 02, 2023 Beatitude 4 (Karen language) with Pastor Toke Han
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. The righteousness that Jesus is talking about here is not the right treatment that we demand from others. Instead, it is the virtue that we need to desire and can have in us. Our predicament is that even though we call Jesus Lord, many of us do not truly treat him as our Master. Though we believe that we have been forgiven by God because we put our faith in Jesus as our personal Lord and Savior, we fail to forgive others. In this way, we are far from righteousness in our relationship with God and others. Only if this realization of lack of righteousness makes us starve of it, we are genuinely hungry and thirsty for it. Out of the hunger and thirst for righteousness, many people try to live a righteous life but fail to become righteous because they don't realize that no one can be righteous to God's standard and he doesn't regard this self-made morality as righteousness, as the only righteousness acceptable to him is available in Jesus. What then is to be done to be filled with the righteousness of Jesus? We who know Jesus as our personal Lord and Savior just need to restore the damaged relationship with him by doing justice to him and others and continue to obediently trust his righteousness as a means of a healthy relationship with God toward eternity, as we humbly seek his justice by submitting to his sovereign will. Let me invite those who are yet to have a relationship with Jesus to repent for your sins and believe in him as the Son of God, who sacrificed his life on the cross as a ransom for the sins of the world. Then the righteousness of Jesus will be given to those who hunger and thirst for it so that your obedient and submissive trust in the righteousness of Jesus will satisfy your hunger and thirst without needing to live self-righteous ways of living. May you be filled with the righteousness of Jesus Christ as you hunger and thirst for it!

"Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the land" There can be many answers to the question, "Why the meek are blessed and will inherit the land". One of them is that because their hearts are more like the heart of Jesus Christ than anyone else's. The original word that means "gentle" in English used by Jesu to say that he is gentle and humble in heart, according to Matthew 11, is also used by him to speak about blessedness of "the meek". The meekness of Jesus is characterized by God the Son's total submission to the supremacy of God the Father, and completely align with his loving and benevolent principles. The heart of the meek endures discomfort, shame, and hurt at the expense of acknowledging and accepting the reality of their weaknesses, mistakes, and transgression. Therefore, when their short-comings are exposed by the message of the gospel, they don't take it as offense and become defensive or blame-shifting. Instead, they meekly embrace the penetrating illumination of the message of the gospel in their hearts. The meek are able to overcome their desire to react evil with evil when they encounter wickedness because this powerful character is one of the products of the work of the Spirit in their hearts. The meek have ability not only to be resilient to endure injustice, but also to perseveringly fight for the justice of God because it is preserved for those who submit themselves to the sovereignty of God. The meek can be patient in suffering because their ultimate hope is in God who have infinite power. Therefore, Jesus promises the meek to inherit the land, which is not only the kingdom of God on earth established in their hearts under the kingship of Christ, but the eternal kingdom of God in heaven as well. May you be able to conquer the world in meekness!

February 01, 2023 Beatitude 2 (Karen language) with Pastor Toke Han
Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Are we blessed because we mourn our shattered dreams in this world? Does Jesus mean that we are blessed because we mourn the loss of our loved ones? What about our mourn over loss of properties to the civil war? The only venue by which God will turn our mourn into comfort toward eternity is repentance out of realization of our spiritual and moral bankruptcy. The comfort we can benefit through mourning our sin is a blessing because God is the one who brings us to repentance, and subsequently will take those who trust in Jesus to eternity. By celebrating Christmas with this truth in our hearts, humbling and thankfully meditating the incarnation of God, his perfect earthly life in Jesus including the sacrifice of his very life on the cross for our sins and his resurrection, you will find significance of joy that the celebration brings to you. May the Lord comfort you with the comfort that I experienced as I mourned my own sin.

February 01, 2023 Beatitude 1 Karen Part 2 (Karen language) with Pastor Toke Han
Jesus promised the kingdom of God for those who are in spiritual poverty that can be resulted from recognizing their inability to responding to challenges of life in a moral and ethical way. The truth is that without being in Jesus no one is able to live a God-pleasing life because his righteousness earned by sinless sacrifice of earthly life is sufficient for those who trust in the grace. Therefore, the kingdom of God is for those who humbly surrender their autonomy and self-sufficiency to the lordship of Jesus and trust in his righteousness out of desire to be relieved from their moral and spiritual bankruptcy.
