Who Are the Blessed?

My Sunday Scripture 2009.11.1

When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up the mountain,
and after he had sat down, his disciples came to him.
He began to teach them, saying:

“Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are they who mourn,
for they will be comforted.
Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the land.
Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be satisfied.
Blessed are the merciful,
for they will be shown mercy.
Blessed are the clean of heart,
for they will see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called children of God.
Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness,
for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you
and utter every kind of evil against you falsely because of me.
Rejoice and be glad,
for your reward will be great in heaven.”

Matthew 5:1-12a

Who Are the Blessed?

Those are the people who stand in the front of the current, to carry out
the will of God. The others are of 2 categories:

those who are poor, are meek, and are mourning: these are the lambs.
those who are merciful and are longing for rigeteousness and are fighting for it in a peaceful and a clean way: these are the caretakers of the lambs.
