The Beatitudes Of Christ (Part 2) Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Aug 25, 2021

While many of the blessings Jesus speaks of appear to be contradictions, we must remember that God’s economy is much different than ours. The world views blessings based upon circumstances or material possessions. The Lord speaks of blessing in regard to our relationship with Him.

Remember this is a Latin term that literally means “happiness or bliss.” Our Lord uses the word blessed nine times in this discourse. He is clearly ...read more
