Here's a list of answers. Match them to the questions.
A. To bless and pray for our enemies.
B. To be like our heavenly Father.
C. To first be reconciled to whom they had offended.
D. Because they can’t make one hair white or black.

G. Because their reward in heaven is great.
The yellow squares are "camps" —for example the camp of the gentle, or the camp of those who mourn. The number on each camp is a verse in Matthew 5, and is your clue as to where to go next. This number is also how many coins will be given in a good camp or taken in a bad camp.
Make a journey of 14 days moving each day to a new camp. Start by entering the camp of those who shine (click on "shine"). As one of your moves you must camp in the city of the great king. You should end up next to the throne of God with exactly 100 gold coins and 14 days elapsed.
A move consists of passing to an adjacent camp by moving horizontally, vertically or diagonally. Click or touch to register a move. For example to move to the camp of the pure, click on "pure". Your journey will take you through good camps and bad. Don’t visit every camp, and don’t visit any camp more than once. Your gold will, at any time, be more or less than 100 coins, except that on the 14th day you should have exactly 100. You have solved the puzzle only when gold coins = 100, days elapsed = 14, and you are adjacent to Heaven.
Remember, the number on each camp tells you how many coins will be given in a good camp or will lose in a bad camp. Equally important, the number is also is a verse in Matthew 5, and is your clue as to where to go next. Don't try to guess a move until you've looked up the verse.
Here’s a little brain teaser for you... Remember what the little pig said to the big bad wolf? "By the hair of my chinny-chin-chin I will not let you in!" I know the wolf was the villain, but criticise the pig.
