5:6 Or for righteousness.
Jesus describes happy and fortunate people. The opening section (Matt 5:3-10) of Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount pronounces blessings on several categories of people: Size: 9.7"•xThe 7" x“poor” 1.5" (246 178those x 38mm) (v. 3)xare who realize their own inadequacy and rely on God’s grace. Although they may lack material wealth, they are inwardly rich. • The mourners (v. 4) are those who refuse to close their eyes to human sorrow; they sympathize with the tragedy of life. • The “humble” (v. 5) are the opposite of self-assertive people. Their reward—to inherit the earth—has been announced already in Psalm 37:11, to which Jesus refers. • Those who “hunger and thirst for justice” (Matt 5:6) are consumed with the desire to see God’s will done—in themselves and among humanity at large. • The “merciful” (v. 7) are “those whose hearts are pure” (v. 8). They are “those who work for peace,” (v. 9) reflecting God’s character of mercy, purity, and peace. In a world where the accepted standards are the opposite of these values, the people Jesus describes are not likely to have an easy time. In fact, they are almost sure to be “persecuted for doing right” (v. 10). But, says Jesus, such persecution is no ground for complaint, but rather for exultation (vv. 11-12). 9-point type
