The Beatitudes

The Beatitudes are found as part of the sermon on the Mount in Matthew chapter 5.  This is a simple three part study on the eight beatitudes.  It was originally written as part of the study on discipleship but has been pulled out as its own separate study here.

The Beatitudes are best known for Jesus use of the term blessed to describe those who follow them.

Matthew 5:1-5 - Poor in spirit, those who mourn, the meek

Matthew 5:6-8 - Those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, the merciful, the poor in heart

Matthew 5:9-12 - Peacemakers, those who are persecuted and insulted
