( . Before we look in detail at the individual Beatitudes, there are two general facts to observe about them as a whole. The first is that all the statements by the Lord take the same form. In the phrase, Blessed are... notice that are is italicized in the Bible and that indicates it does not appear in the Greek or the Hebrew.

This indicates that what Jesus ments that can be realized today by eveiy believer, was about to teach was official or central to Him. The Beatitudes shout of the bliss of knowing Jesus Matthew uses the phrase, He opened His mouth. as our personal Savior, of walking with Him and This phrase in the Greek language many times was living the Christian life which honors the One who used to indicate a solemn, grave, and dignified ut- - justified us before God! ; terance.

Jesus out his and his heart pouring opening said to His disciples in John 15:15, Henceforth I taking a detailed look at each Beatitude is that call you not servants; for the servant knows not what all the statements use the word blessed.
