The Eight Beatitudes |
|||
|
 One day, Jesus Christ and his friends climbed part of the way up a mountain and great crowds
came to hear what Jesus had to say. This "Sermon on the Mount" can be found in the Bible:
in the Gospel by Matthew Chapter Five, from Verse Three to Verse Ten. During this sermon, Jesus told the crowds
who the truly happy people were. According to Jesus these were: 1. "Happy are these who know they are Spiritually poor; for the kingdom of Heaven belongs to them!" 2. "Happy are these who mourn; for God will comfort them!" 3. "Happy are these who are humble; for they will receive what God has promised!" 4. "Happy are these whose greatest deceive is to do what God requires; for God will satisfy them fully!" 5. "Happy are these who are merciful to others; for God will be merciful to them!" 6. "Happy are the pure in heart; for they will see God!" 7. "Happy are these who work for peace; for God will call them his children!" 8. "Happy are these who are persecuted because they do what God requires; for the kingdom of Heaven belongs to them!" |
