Matthew 5:3-11 (JFA) Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven; Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted; Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth; Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled; Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy; Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God; Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God; Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven; Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus redefined happiness. He proclaims "blessed" (happy) the humble in spirit, the meek, those who hunger for righteousness, the merciful, and those who suffer, for their joy is guaranteed by the Kingdom of God and the promise of consolation. In the New Testament, happiness is not defined by material success or the absence of problems, but by inner joy and peace that transcend circumstances. It is understood under the concept of Beatitude and is directly linked to the relationship with God, the experience of love for one's neighbor, and the hope of eternal life. Also in the New Testament, happiness is defined as makarios (beatitude) and transcends material or temporal circumstances. It is presented as a deep and lasting joy (chara) rooted in a relationship with God, independent of external factors and connected to salvation. The principles that define this true joy: The New Testament message on happiness can be structured around four main pillars: The Beatitudes (Matthew 5) In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus redefines what it means to be happy (Greek term makários). True happiness is a state of mind that is independent of external factors and is granted to those who align their lives with the values ​​of the Kingdom of God. Humility: "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven" (Matthew 5:3). Meek and Peaceful: Those who seek peace and are righteous find contentment, even in the face of persecution. Joy as a Fruit of the Spirit: Unlike the fleeting joy of the world, in the New Testament, joy (charah) is considered a gift generated by the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer. It is a natural consequence of remaining in the teachings of Jesus: "I have told you these things so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete" (John 15:11). It is listed in the "fruit of the Spirit" along with love and peace (Galatians 5:22). Contentment and Overcoming Suffering: The apostles teach that it is possible to experience happiness and contentment regardless of the circumstances. The apostle Paul recounts having learned to be happy and content in both abundance and poverty. Scarcity. Philippians 4:11-13 I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all things through him who strengthens me. James instructs Christians to consider it a great joy when they face trials, for this produces perseverance and maturity. James 1:2-3, 12 My brothers and sisters, consider it pure joy whenever you face trials of many kinds, knowing that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him. Love and Service to Others For Jesus, the path to happiness transcends the self and turns to The next one. Selfless love and service are direct paths to fullness and joy. John 15:12-14 My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you. Communion and Fraternal Love In John 15:11, Jesus says: "I have told you these things so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete." This happiness is achieved when one remains in God's love and lives in communion with one's neighbor. Finally, happiness or Blessedness lies in having communion, intimacy with the word of God 🙌 Revelation 1:3 Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near.
