The Gospel of the Kingdom - Message 16 - Blessed - Matthew 5:3-10. The word "blessed" in the Sermon on the Mount is defined as, religious joy, fortunate, happy, usually in the sense of privileged recipient of divine favor (grace). The typical teaching of the beattitudes then is that if you are poor in spirit, you will be blessed (how to get blessed, how to be happy). However, the truth is that because you have been blessed (received grace), you will be poor in spirit. Because of grace, you can now do what you could not do, so then the evidence of grace is being poor in spirit, mourning over sin, hungering and thirsting after righteousness, etc. In this message we pause to see just how blessed we are if we are the privileged recipients of God's grace.
