    Study of the book of Isaiah, Chapter 7. If thinking about a coming Savior raises the hopes of a people, who were focused on the circumstances they were in rather than trusting God; how can we take encouragement from this because we already HAVE a Savior?

    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
