The Beatitudes or Blessings (“Blessed are…”) make up the first part of Jesus’ sermon. Although scholars speculate that the Sermon on the Mount is a compilation of Jesus’ teaching, brought together only later into one message, the Beatitudes’ emphasis on personal righteousness and patience in affliction is a fitting introduction. Among its teachings, you find:
- Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
- Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
- Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness’ sake, for they shall be filled.
- Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.
- Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God.
