Summary
Jesus opens the Sermon on the Mount by redefining what it means to live a truly blessed life. In Matthew 5:1-9, He does not reward strength, status, or self-sufficiency.
In this teaching, we walk through the Beatitudes as Jesus intended them, not as religious slogans, but as evidence of a transformed life.
