The Beatitudes
It is very important that people remember the words of Jesus when He Himself blessed those people who would follow and live the Beatitudes in the world. This is the message that He still gives our world today and that He wishes everyone would follow.
Matthew 5:1-12
Now when Jesus saw the crowds, He went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to Him, and He began to teach them, saying:
Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness,
for they shall have their fill.
Blessed are the merciful, for they shall be shown mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called the sons of God.
Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great will be your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
