    About this ebook

    Never before in history has anyone ever been able to hear only the words of Christ personally unless you lived at the time he did and was near enough to hear him speak of true meaning and purpose in this life and eternal happiness in the next.

    Using today’s technology and this unique book, it is now possible for you to hear only the words of Christ as though you were with him when he walked and talked on this earth making it especially helpful for the blind; those whose vision is impaired and have difficulty reading; or for those who do not wish to read or even for those who cannot read.

    This ebook is truly special because it enables you to imagine yourself in the presence of Christ wherever and whenever you choose, at your own pace, in your own time while allowing the Holy Spirit another avenue to touch your soul and/or the soul of modern man.

      THE WORDS OF CHRIST By St Matthew - Joe Procopio

      THE WORDS OF CHRIST

      If you have ears to hear, then hear.

      Let it be so for the present; we do well to conform in this way with all that God requires.

      Scripture says, ‘Man cannot live on bread alone; he lives on every word that God utters.’

      Scripture says again, ‘You are not to put the Lord your God to the test.’

      Begone, Satan! Scripture says, ‘You shall do homage to the Lord your God and worship him alone.’

      Repent; for the kingdom of God is upon you.

      Come with me, and I will make you fishers of men.

      "How blest are those who know their need of God; the kingdom of heaven is theirs.

      How blest are the sorrowful; they shall find consolation.

      How blest are those of gentle spirit; they shall have the earth for their possession.

      How blest are those who hunger and thirst to see right prevail; they shall be satisfied.

      How blest are those who show mercy; mercy shall be shown to them.

      How blest are those whose hearts are pure; they shall see God.

      How blest are the peacemakers; God shall call them his sons.

      How blest are those who have suffered persecution for the cause of right; the kingdom of Heaven is theirs."

      How blest you are, when you suffer insults and persecutions and every kind of calumny for my sake. Accept it with gladness and exultation, for you have a rich reward in heaven; in the same way they persecuted the prophets before you.

      You are salt to the world. And if salt becomes tasteless, how is its saltness to be restored? It is now good for nothing but to be thrown away and trodden underfoot.

      You are light for all the world. A town that stands on a hill cannot be hidden. When a lamp is lit, it is not put under a meal-tub, but on a lamp-stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house. And you, like the lamp, must shed light among your fellows, so that, when they see the good you do, they may give praise to your Father in heaven.

      Do not suppose that I come to abolish the Law and the prophets; I did not come to abolish, but to complete. I tell you this: so long as heaven and earth endure, not a letter, not a stroke, will disappear from the Law until all that must happen has happened. If any man therefore sets aside even the least of the Law’s demands, and teaches others to do the same, he will have the lowest place in the kingdom of heaven, whereas anyone who keeps the Law, and teaches others so, will stand high in the kingdom of Heaven. I tell you, unless you show yourselves far better men than the Pharisees and the doctors of the Law, you can never enter the kingdom of Heaven.

      You have learned that out forefathers were told, ‘Do not commit murder; anyone who commits murder must be brought to judgement.’ But what I tell you is this: Anyone who nurses anger against his brother must be brought to judgement. If he abuses his brother he must answer for it to the court; if he sneers at him he will have to answer for it in the fires of hell.

      If, when you are bringing your gift to the altar, you suddenly remember that your brother has a grievance against you, leave your gift where it is before the altar. First go and make your peace with your brother, and only then come back and offer your gift.

      If someone sues you, come to terms with him promptly while you are on your way to court; otherwise he may hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the constable, and you will be put in jail. I tell you, once you are there you will not be let out until you have paid the last farthing."

      You have learned that they were told. ‘Do not commit adultery.’ But what I tell you is this: If a man looks on a woman with a lustful eye, he has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

      If your right eye is your undoing, tear it out and fling it away; it is better for you to lose one part of your body than for the whole of it to be thrown into hell. And if your right hand is your undoing, cut it off and fling it away; it is better for you to lose one part of your body than for the whole of it to go to hell.

      They were told, ‘A man who divorces his wife must give her a note of dismissal.’ But what I tell you is this: If a man divorces his wife for any cause other than unchastity he involves her in adultery; and anyone who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

      Again, you have learned that our forefathers were told, ‘Do not break your oath’, and, ‘Oaths sworn to the Lord must be kept.’ But what I tell you is this: You are not to swear at all – not by heaven, for it is God’s throne, nor by earth, for it is his footstool, nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King, nor by your own head, because you cannot turn one hair of it white or black. Plain ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ is all you need to say; anything beyond that comes from the devil.

      You have learned that they were told, ‘Eye for eye, tooth for tooth.’ But what I tell you is this: Do not set yourself against the man who wrongs you. If someone slaps you on the right cheek, turn and offer him your left. If a man wants to sue you for your shirt, let him have your coat as well. If a man in authority makes you go one mile, go with him two. Give when you are asked to give; and do not turn your back on a man who wants to borrow.

      You have learned that they were told, ‘Love your neighbor, hate your enemy.’ But what I tell you is this: Love your enemies and pray for your persecutors; only so can you be children of your heavenly Father, who makes his sun rise on good and bad alike, and sends the rain on the honest and the dishonest. If you love only those who love you, what reward can you expect? Surely the tax-gatherers do as much as that. And if you greet only your brothers, what is extraordinary about that? Even the heathen do as much. There must be no limit to your goodness, as your Father’s goodness knows no bounds.

      Be careful not to make a show of your religion before men; if you do, no reward awaits you in your Father’s house in heaven.

      Thus, when you do some act of charity, do not announce it with a flourish of trumpets, as the hypocrites do in synagogues and in the streets to win admiration from men. I tell you this: they have their reward already. No; when you do some act of charity, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing; your good deed must be secret, and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you.

      Again, when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites; they love to say their prayers standing up in synagogue and at street corners for everyone to see them. I tell you this: they have had their reward already. But when you pray, go into a room by yourself, shut the door, and pray to your Father who is there in the secret place; and your Father who sees what is secret will reward you.

      "In your prayers do not go babbling on like the heathen, who imagine that the more they say the more likely they are to be heard. Do not imitate them, Your Father knows what your needs are before you
