"God's Blessings" (Matthew 5:1-12)

How we view things is often shaped by our past experience. This perspective is an important gift for understanding. At the beginning of Jesus' famous Sermon on the Mount, He reshapes what it means to be blessed in the kingdom of God, helping us to understand the rest of the sermon. We are blessed by God, as demonstrated by the ministry of Jesus, our savior. Thankfully, the Gospel is the key that frames our entire lives. Through it, we know just how blessed we really are. So, let us praise Him!
