About Blessed Are Ye: Using the Beatitudes to Understand Christ’s Atonement and Grace

Jesus started each Beatitude with the word blessed. It is the English translation of the Latin beatus, meaning “fortunate” or “happy.” However, considering its Hebrew roots, the word can also mean “holy”--even “exalted.” As we study the Beatitudes, they become much more than simply good advice, a code of ethics, or hopeful words for the downtrodden. They can be a holy invitation from Christ Himself to enter a covenant relationship with Him, receive His grace, and become like Him.
