Set #5 - Real Happiness Comes To Those Who

Home

Written by Bill Fairchild

When Jesus sat down on the hillside with a group of His followers and talked about those things that really mattered in life... truths about discipleship and character ... He distilled an enormous amount of truth in an incredibly brief period of time!And the people were simply astonished at what they heard (Matthew 7:28,29)! With the Beatitudes (Matthew 5:1-12) ... Jesus sets the tone for a significant message of change that both He and the Father are expecting of would-be disciples! Each of His statements is prefaced with the term “blessed or happy.” It is in these Beatitudes that Jesus identifies what brings about divine recognition ... recognition regardless of one’s background, social standing,or educational accomplishments!To the poor ... to the mourners ... to the meek ... to the hungry ... to the persecuted ... and to the poor in heart ... Jesus offers assurance that their service to God and man would not go unnoticed by Heaven! Each of these statements if believed ... accepted ... and practiced ... will help to shape both the behavior and the life of each person regardless of age! This is why the apostle Paul could say with such confidence in Philippians 1:21, “For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” May you look forward to the joy and happiness you will discover that Jesus Christ offers each of us in this study of Happiness Belongs To Those Who.
