• Blessings for the poor in spirit: In the Gospel, Jesus says that those who know they need God are blessed. They will receive the kingdom of heaven.
• Peace and mercy matter: Jesus blesses those who are peacemakers and show mercy. God’s children act with kindness and work for peace.
• Suffering for doing right: Jesus teaches that those who face trouble for following Him will be rewarded. God sees their struggles and will bless them.
