Beautiful Attitudes Abound in Zero Hour

The Beatitudes, Matthew 5

Blessed is from the Greek "makaroi" which means "to be characterized by the quality of God, or the state of one who has the Kingdom of God within him".  The Latin beatus is the basis of the English "beatitude" meaning "to be fortunate, or to be happy, or blessed." 

The beatitudes then teach us about the characteristics of God that, if developed within us, will allow us to achieve the type of happiness that God possesses.  It is the great Plan of Happiness, that will lead us back to Him.
