This is probably the last word for this blog about The
Sermon on the Mount. A brief word!
I read through Matthew chapters 6 and 7.
I was left with the impression that I was being told how to
pray and how to accomplish tasks and receive rewards: things, fruits, benefits,
have needs met. And the way to get rewards and create harmony and peace is to
KNOW that we are already in the Kingdom of Heaven and include all good, and
only good.
Is not Jesus’ gift of the Lord’s Prayer the
promise that our needs are being met? He said “...your Father knoweth what
things ye have need of, before ye ask him” (Matt. 6:8).

Ed. I came across an article called SpiritualReward by Ruth Wesler in the Christian Science Sentinel April 10, 1937. Here's an excerpt:
Through the good we know and do our names are written in heaven… The
consciousness of having done right is a wondrous reward for being about the
Father's business... Spiritual rewards are free to all, yet they must be
earned. Mrs. Eddy, who so dearly earned and richly received her spiritual
reward, has written, on page 342 of Miscellaneous Writings:
"Seek Truth, and pursue it. It should cost you something: you are willing
to pay for error and receive nothing in return; but if you pay the price of
Truth, you shall receive all."
Thank you. Your posts are always excellent, but this one is really special.
