Lesson 1 - The Beatitudes

Introduction

What comes to mind when you think of a blessed person?

Selected Reading

Matthew 5:1-6

1Now when he saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him, 2and he began to teach them saying:
3"Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4Blessed are those who mourn,
for they will be comforted.
5Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the earth.
6Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be filled.

马太福音5:1-6

1 耶稣看见这许多的人，就上了既已坐下，门徒到他跟前来。 2 他就开口教训他们说，

3 虚心的人有福了，

因为天国是他们的。

4 哀恸的人有福了，

因为他们必得安慰。

5 温柔的人有福了，

因为他们必承受地土。

6 饥渴慕义的人有福了，

因为他们必得饱足。

Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
