I just had a feeling this had to Todo with the bible and gladly you have written exactly about that discourse. I see that you have also added some more further reading here which is infact a very good one. I will like to learn more about the beatitudes and also to know what it is exactly that their blessing are. Thank you for adding the readings.
The beatitudes are a teaching by Jesus on the mounts of Galilea, near the sea. Where people gathered to listen to Him.
This teaching is called the sermon on the mount of beatitudes and starts with blessing all those who follow a path of righteousness. It expresses in many ways.
The last blessing is for those who follow Him and who experience evil opposition and persecution because of their faith in Him.
Be blessed by the Holy One…
I have never used Beatitudes before not sure how can I put it in a context but I am happy that I finally know the meaning. Matthew 5:3–11 has a great life lesson that we all can learn from it. I think it is up to all of us to just kill people with kindness. For me, I find that when I share my kindness when people insult me, those words never get to me. I always just have the right attitude and mive on to the next thing that I want to focus.
So Glad you took time to read and reflect on the beatitudes. Divine teachings by Jesus for menkind.
Yes… the beatitude of peacemakers is very powerful… and a blessed attitude indeed…. blessed are you!
Thank you very much for explicating what beatitudes mean. I think that it is a very good thing that you can show us here the synonyms. I have always seen the word but didn’t understand it’s meaning. I like that you have also given some Bible verses that I can study on this. Thanks again.
Hi John… Thank you.
Yes, the beatitude or joy of the righteous one, being Jesus Himself. Simple in his teachings and showing us His attitude in the service of God and men indeed… blessed are you!
