How to Really Get Blessed
How to Really Get Blessed Luke 6:17-26 Main Point: Messiah Jesus teaches us how to truly be blessed in our lives as His disciples, in contrast to the world’s view. His Works and His Word confirmed His authority! Blessed (makarios) = extremely blessed, fortunate, well off. 1. We are blessed when we are poor (in spirit), hunger (for righteousness), and weep (over our brokenness). (verses 20-21) Job 8:21 2. We are blessed when we are hated and rejected because of our faith and stance in Messiah Jesus. (verses 22-23) John 16:2 Matthew 5:13-16 3. Woe to us if we are rich (in our own capability), well fed (from our own sufficiency), laugh now (unconcerned), cavalier attitude), and people speak well of us (lukewarm). (verses 24-26) II Timothy 3:12-13
