THE BEATITUDES
Beatitudes means a state of total happiness, blessedness, success and prosperity. In the book of Matthew, there are nine beatitudes stated by Christ while He taught on the mount as each began with the word “blessed”. It simply signifies the reward for faithful followers of Christ who obeys His commandment. The nine beatitudes are as follows:
- 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 the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.
- Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.
- Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.
- Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
- Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the sons of God.
- Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’s sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when men revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account (for my sake). Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so men persecuted the Prophets who were before you.
