If you put the word “humble” in place of the word “poor,” you will understand what He meant.” what He meant.” � “In other words, when we come to God, we must realize our own sin and our spiritual emptiness and poverty. We must not be self?satisfied or proud in our hearts, thinking we don’t really need God. If we are, God cannot bless us. The Bible says, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble” (James 4:6).” (Rev. Billy Graham)

Brittany is right, if you cry for the right reasons, you will indeed get better because God will comfort you. you will indeed get better because God will comfort you. � In the Bible, ������� usually means "happy." But in the context of Matthew 5, ������� most likely indicates "an enviable state.“ � The term ����� means “to experience deep grief.” In keeping with His theme of spiritual blessedness, Jesus seems to indicate that this mourning is due to grief over sin. The people who agree with God about the evil of their own hearts can attain an "enviable state of blessedness," due to the comfort they receive from communion with the Holy Spirit. $%���������#������������#�&��������'�

The Greek word translated “meek” is praeis (PRAYUS) and refers to mildness, gentleness of spirit, or humility. refers to mildness, gentleness of spirit, or humility. � Meekness is humility toward God and toward others.

The righteous are those who maintain right relationships—with God and with the people around them. On the basis of right relationships, and because of Jesus, those who commit infractions are acquitted of guilt. In other words, if I am a “forgiven person” then I must be a “forgiving person”.

In the Lord’s Prayer, He says, “Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors” (Matthew 6:12). In Matthew 9:13 Jesus forgiven our debtors” (Matthew 6:12). In Matthew 9:13 Jesus instructs the Pharisees, “Go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.” We are blessed if we are merciful because mercy is something God Himself displays.
