God the Father shows Jesus-followers mercy, both now and forever, and it's from a place of having received mercy that Jesus-followers cannot help themselves but show mercy to others.
Jesus teaches us that those who hunger and thirst for right relationships will live the blessed life in his upside-down kingdom. Our desire for rightness in our relationships with God and each other honors him and moves us to take action to bring restoration into many different spaces in our life.
Jesus adds another one to his "string of blessings" we call the Beatitudes, and this one isn't any less confusing than the first two. Jesus, instead of advocating for aggression and a go-getter attitude, he tells his followers that meekness is one of the keys to a blessed life.
If Jesus didn't confuse them with the first Beatitude about being the happiness found in being poor in spirit, he really catches them off guard by telling them happiness is found in mourning! What does Jesus mean here? And what are we supposed to mourn about? Listen to find out more.
Jesus opens up the most famous sermon of all time with a beautiful poem about happiness, which is the number one thing most people in the world are looking for. Have you found happiness? Have you heard where Jesus says it can be found?
