Jesus Gives Blessings

1 Jesus saw the crowds. So he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him.

2 Then he began to teach them. He said,

3 "Blessed are those who are spiritually needy. The kingdom of heaven belongs to them.

4 Blessed are those who are sad. They will be comforted.

5 Blessed are those who are free of pride. They will be given the earth.

6 Blessed are those who are hungry and thirsty for what is right. They will be filled.

7 Blessed are those who show mercy. They will be shown mercy.

8 Blessed are those whose hearts are pure. They will see God.

9 Blessed are those who make peace. They will be called sons of God.

10 Blessed are those who suffer for doing what is right. The kingdom of heaven belongs to them.

11 "Blessed are you when people make fun of you and hurt you because of me. You are also blessed when they tell all kinds of evil lies about you because of me.

12 Be joyful and glad. Your reward in heaven is great. In the same way, people hurt the prophets who lived long ago.

Psychology of Jesus, 3

Tim Kelley

When God created the human race He did it perfectly. Physically we knew no death, sickness or pain. What we forget however is that we were also psychologically perfect - balanced, with values uncorrupted, right thought patterns; stress and anxiety were nonexistent. The whole human race now needs psychiatric help. Though many may seem self reliant and stable, without God, the best we can do is build strong defense mechanisms around strongholds to reduce fear and vulnerability. (Matthew 5:1-12)
