Here is a reflection of her message:
The Beatitudes- Eight Keys to Happiness
Matthew 5:1-12
Main Idea:
Personal heart change is a necessary first step toward personal life change.
When Jesus saw the vast crowds he went up the hill-side and after he had sat down his disciples came to him.
2-12 Then he began his teaching by saying to them, “How happy are the humble-minded, for the kingdom of Heaven is theirs! “How happy are those who know what sorrow means for they will be given courage and comfort! “Happy are those who claim nothing, for the whole earth will belong to them! “Happy are those who are hungry and thirsty for goodness, for they will be fully satisfied! “Happy are the merciful, for they will have mercy shown to them! “Happy are the utterly sincere, for they will see God! “Happy are those who make peace, for they will be sons of God! “Happy are those who have suffered persecution for the cause of goodness, for the kingdom of Heaven is theirs! “And what happiness will be yours when people blame you and ill-treat you and say all kinds of slanderous things against you for my sake! Be glad then, yes, be tremendously glad—for your reward in Heaven is magnificent. They persecuted the prophets before your time in exactly the same way.
Matthew 5: 1-12 JBP (One of my favorites)
Key II. Happy are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
Key III. Happy are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.
Key IV. Happy are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.
Key V. Happy are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.
Key VI. Happy are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
Key VII. Happy are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God.
Key VIII. Happy are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
