산상수훈(5): 하나님 나라(22); 마태복음 5장 3-16절

In your mind, there is likely an image that naturally comes to mind: "That person is blessed." A person who is healthy, financially stable, has a harmonious family, and is socially recognized. We often point to such people and say, "That person is very blessed." However, when Jesus sat on the mountain, gazing at the crowds, and opened his mouth, the "blessed people" he called out completely overturned our expectations. The poor in spirit, those who mourn, the meek, the persecuted... In the eyes of the world, they were people who had failed, were wounded, and possessed nothing. Jesus spoke to them directly: "You are blessed." This is the very question we want to examine together here today. What is the "blessing" that Jesus speaks of? And to whom is that blessing truly given? If the very people we have been wiping off our list of "blessed people" are actually sitting in the most precious seats of the Kingdom of God, how should our faith change? **"Message of Comfort and Healing | Pastor Paul Chung, Psy.D."** home; https://sardismissionarychurch.tistor...
