You see this is part of the sermon on the mount. A sermon delivered by Jesus to his disciples and a large crowd outlining the fundamental principals of christian ethics and morality. The word Beatitude is from the Latin word “Beatus” which means blessed or happy. The Beatitudes are considered a guide to finding true happiness and spiritual well being.

do you see just by breaking down the first of the 2 beatitudes how a pattern is forming? Jesus is hear for us. from the beginning to the end. and at the end if we work hard at our faith and our relationship with Jesus christ we will receive his blessing of heaven. We as humans are so afraid of failure we sometimes give up. But God is so full of grace we cannot fail to the point of no forgiveness. Jesus will offer us grace IF we ask for it. you see we do not have enough time to do a full study on the beatitudes but I want us to realize they are here to give us hope that even as we fall in our relationship Jesus he is merciful. We may have a bible study on the sermon on the mount some time or even a sermon series on the beatitudes in the future. I used this scripture today to show how Mathews perspective happiness and well-being, bringing out the qualities such as humility, meekness, righteousness, mercy, and peace. They encourage us to live a life of Love, compassion, and pursuit of God’s righteousness rather than worldly success or material wealth. This also offers hope to those who may be suffering or facing adversity, showing that even in challenging times, there is the promise of comfort, reward, and ultimately the kingdom of heaven. These scriptures have had a profound influence on christian ethics and have been the subject of many theological debates. The are the central part of Jesus’s moral teaching and a source of inspiration and guidance for Christians in our daily lives. So you see we are never left out to dry when it comes to what we are to do in our daily lives. In our road map for life this is just another place we can turn for guidance. As we look at the beatitudes we find guidance for every situation in life we find ourselves in. But as we have talked if we live by Gods charge on our life to live by love. We will be
