BIBLE STUDY. 
Theme of the Course: Life Eternal. 
Lesson 8. More Blessed Folks Still. 
1. The merciful, Matthew 5:7. 
(a) Why do the merciful obtain 
mercy from men? From God? Why 
do the merciless receive no mercy from 
men? Do they from God? 
(b) Study Matthew 9:14, 15 and 
Matthew 18:21-35. Why. will not 
God forgive the unforgiving? Does God 
harbor a grudge against them? What is 
meant by forgiveness? Will God for- 
give us if we ‘‘forgive without forget- 
ting?”’ 
(c) Study Matthew 7:1-5. Can we 
help judging acts as right or wrong? 
Does this involve condemnation of the 
sinner? Whatis wrong about judging 
our neighbor? 
2. The Peacemakers. Matthew 
5:9. Why arethe peacemakers called 
God’s children? What name is given 
Christ in Isaiah 9:6? Read the picture 
of the Kingdom of God in Isaiah 11. 
Now read Matthew 10:34-36. Is all 
warfare wrong? May warriors really be 
peacemakers? 
Next week we shall consider com- 
munion with the unseen God? 
There will be sermons next Sunday 
both morning and evening at the church.
