Beatitudes — a spiritual climb to make the beatitudes our attitude
An eight week study on the Beatitudes in the New Testament
The beatitudes simply go against human nature.
Half of them are so illogical to our human minds, the other half are just plain hard and unnatural to live out!
The word Beatitude means happy, blissful, or literally enlarged. This is not a superficial kind of happy. It is not a happy that is based off of whims or the swings of culture. No, it runs deep. It is the deep joy in our soul. It is Spiritual well being and prosperity.
So how in the world will these paradoxes bring us that deep happy, blissful kind of state in our soul? How do we change our attitudes to reflect the Beatitudes?
For 8 weeks we will dive into each beatitude to grow our understanding on these beautiful soul nourishing truths. We will explore what being:
-
Poor in spirit
-
Attentive to our sinful nature
-
Meek
-
Hungry and thirsty for righteousness
-
Merciful
-
Pure in heart
-
A peacemaker
-
Willing to suffer for Christ
really looks like and how to live them out in our daily life.
As we journey through these hard but beautiful truths I pray our hearts can all grow closer knit to Jesus and our eyes would see clearly the abundant life He has to offer us. I pray we can all take more and more steps in truth, even when it is unnatural.
