Happy Are The Poor

All of us are searching for happiness in one form or another. some of us seek wealth or pleasures of this age and some seek fulfillment in family or work. However, the way of Jesus flows in the opposite direction. In Matthew 5, Jesus gives his "Sermon on the Mount" and lays out the way of the Kingdom of God. The first section of his sermon is often known as "the beatitudes" and lists those who are "blessed" (or "happy"). Can we find true happiness and fulfillment following the ways of this world and its age, or should we seek the counter-cultural way of Jesus?

A Firm Foundation

The New Testament letter of 1 Peter is from the disciple Peter to five churches. It says those who persevere in faith while suffering persecution should be full of hope for the future and enjoy God’s saving promises here and now through the death and resurrection of Jesus. Peter teaches how to live as strangers and sojourners in this world. A sojourner is a person who resides temporarily in a place, a temporary resident, traveler, or stranger rather than a permanent inhabitant. Peter reminds the churches — and us — of our true citizenship in God's Kingdom.
