As a Christian, after reading in today's Gospel from Matthew 5 the Beatitudes Jesus gave in his Sermon on the Mount, I am all joy again. Eternal joy is the mark of the Christian. Pity and pray for those who do not know or follow Christ. I shall list these solemn blessings below. Pay attention to what Jesus promised at the end.
Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are they who mourn, for they will be comforted.
Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the land.
Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied,
Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.
Blesses are the clean of heart, for they will see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.
Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven,
Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you and utter every kind of evil against you falsely because of me.
Rejoice and be glad, for your reward will be great in heaven.
