The Blessed Life

Name Date

Read the Story

Jesus saw the crowds, went up on a mountain, and taught His disciples. He began with blessings called the Beatitudes. Blessed are the poor in spirit. Blessed are those who mourn and the gentle. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness.

Blessed are the merciful, the pure in heart, and the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God. Jesus said His followers are like salt, which adds flavor. They are also like light, which helps people see. We should let our good works shine so others glorify our Father in heaven.

Jesus taught that God cares about our hearts, not just our actions. Being angry and saying mean things is wrong too. Jesus even said to love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. That is how God's children act, because God is kind to everyone.
