Blessing on Mt Eremos

One day long ago, a church goer asked his pastor how he was doing. The pastor replied that he was overloaded, but he said it with a smile. Puzzled, and still with some concern, the man asked a follow up question, simply, “Overloaded, pastor?” The pastor responded, “Overloaded with all the blessings of God!” What a great attitude that is. To walk around in life, counting your blessings every day. But sometimes that’s a challenge. Some days or even seasons of life, we just don’t feel blessed. It’s hard to consistently maintain the attitude that pastor had, isn’t it? To encourage us, especially in those times, Matthew 5:1-12 proclaims 4 truths about the abundance blessing there is for anyone who puts their faith in Jesus Christ.
