The world blesses people with money, fame, success and cutthroat ambition. Jesus blesses a different sort of person.
In Matthew 5, Jesus teaches His disciples about the kind of heart that God truly blesses, and it's very different than most might expect...
1. For the Poor...
“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 5:3
2. For the Mourners...
“Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted." Matthew 5:4
3. For the Meek...
“Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth." Matthew 5:5
4. For the Hungry...
“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled." Matthew 5:6
5. For the Merciful...
“Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy." Matthew 5:7
6. For the Pure in Heart...
“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." Matthew 5:8
May you be blessed as you put others first and thirst for God's kingdom on this earth!
