We're beginning a new series of looking in-depth at Jesus' own sermon on what it means to follow him. In this lesson we look at "the Beatitudes" which are 8 easy to remember summaries of his teaching. We normally think of the term "blessed" religiously when we think of "blessed are the poor in spirit," however delving into a study of the language of the Gospel, the word is better rendered "Happy."

France's commentary on this one, and wish to thank the author for the inspiration.
