Matthew 5:4-5:6

Characteristics of the Kingdom Minded - Part 2

Turning to chapter five, and perhaps the best-known of Jesus' messages, we find the Beatitudes. There is perhaps no greater insight into the true nature of God's heart than this as Jesus turns our attention to the kingdom of heaven. Many people are looking for a joyful Christian life; in this message, Jesus teaches where genuine joy is found.

  1. Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
  2. Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
  3. Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
