As followers of Christ, if you made a list of the things that make you feel “blessed,” what would be on it? At the start of the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus shares His own list—and chances are, it’s very different from ours. In the Beatitudes, He paints a countercultural picture of what it truly means to be happy, joyful, and blessed. As we explore His words, we’ll see how His view of blessing offers a deeper, lasting fulfillment that the world can’t match.
