For Christians, Jesus being the Son of God is a central principle of faith and understanding of Jesus as the Messiah and Savior of humanity. It represents his role as the bridge between God and humanity, offering redemption, forgiveness, and eternal life through his sacrificial death and resurrection.
1. He performed numerous miracles, including healing the sick, raising the dead, and walking on water.
2. He was known for his compassion and love for all people, regardless of their social status or background.
3. He was crucified, died, and rose again.
4. He ushered in a new covenant with God.
5. He welcomed and embraced outcasts and sinners, showing that no one is beyond redemption.

The Beatitudes are for right now! Stop waiting on the blessings of the kingdom. They are available right now. The kingdom is for everyone. The great news is all this is not based on our merit but on Jesus’

In Matthew 5 Jesus is not offering another system of rules and regulations. The Beatitudes are not imperatives or required standards we must perform to receive God’s approval; if so, they would not be much different from religious laws. This is what Jesus looks like. This is what heaven looks like.

Blessed are the poor. Jesus teaches that the norm of the kingdom of heaven is spiritual bankruptcy, unlike the spiritual self-sufficiency characteristic of religious leaders. Being poor in spirit means recognizing our spiritual poverty and dependence on God.
Blessed are those who mourn. It is important to understand that Jesus is not necessarily talking about physical mourning but rather a spiritual and emotional mourning over sin, injustice, and the brokenness of the world.
Jesus promises that those who mourn will be comforted. This comfort comes from God, the source of all comfort and healing.
Blessed are the meek. Someone who practices humility, gentleness, and self-control in their interactions with others. This person does not assert their agenda or desires over those of others but instead puts the needs and feelings of others before their own. They are patient, understanding, and slow to anger, responding with kindness and compassion even in difficult situations.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness. God does not build relationships with us based on our merit. He doesn't look at us and consider what we have or haven't done. God sees us and approves and validates us through Jesus! God doesn't think in terms of what you do and don't deserve. He sees Jesus (and you are all wrapped up in Him), and Jesus deserves all blessing, favor, joy, and victory! God's relationship with us is based on what Jesus has accomplished concerning us
, not what we have accomplished ourselves. The righteousness of Jesus is our righteousness, and it is the "GIFT OF GOD!"
Blessed are the merciful. Showing mercy toward others does not earn a person entrance to the kingdom; instead, it is a heart attitude that opens a person to receive the offer of mercy that Jesus has proclaimed in his gospel of the kingdom. Jesus' disciples learn from this beatitude that God's good requirement has always been mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart. Purity or cleanliness was an important religious theme in Jesus' day. Observing all the Old Testament laws of being clean couldn't bypass the most important purity of all, purity of the heart. Jesus declares here that a pure heart produces external purity, not vice versa.
Blessed are the peacemakers. Jesus turns aside the various political, religious, and militaristic attempts of those within Israel to establish their supremacy. They have created even more division; thus, he turns to those who want God's peace. With the inauguration of the kingdom of heaven, Jesus himself is the supreme peacemaker, making peace between God and humans, and among humans.
Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness. In the eighth beatitude, Jesus comforts those who have suffered undeserved persecution. Jesus elaborates in his follow-up statement—"Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me…" in other words…It may not look like it from a religious, economic, or social perspective, but the kingdom is theirs nonetheless—and in this, they will truly rejoice.

Verse 17 needs to be clarified. The issue can be how heaven and earth are interpreted—the Tabernacle of Moses. The pattern for Solomon's temple champers was called Heaven, Earth, and Sea. We know this from early Jewish historians like Josephus. The Holy of Holies was called Heaven. The holy place was called Earth. The outer court was called the sea. We know that in 70 AD, the temple was destroyed. In the better covenant, we are referred to as the temple.

When Jesus said heaven and earth, his crowd knew exactly what He was talking about. The main religious groups in Jesus’ day were the Essenes, Pharisees, and Sadducees. Two of those groups did not even believe in a resurrection.

Jesus said, " Hey, the law is still in place until it is fulfilled. There were still roughly 30-plus years when they were still making sacrifices and following the law.

So, the law-based system was removed when the temple was destroyed, and the better covenant was installed. Jeremiah 31:31-34 Hebrews 10:8
