This series on “the Beatitudes” looks at the eight blessings Jesus declared "those that make up God's kingdom" should expect. All of these blessings are tied to attitudes "BE--ATTITUDES:"

- These Christ-like ATTITUDES Christians should make their own in order to receive the promised BLESSINGS. They do not come naturally but must be embraced as our goal. Jesus' words defy the wisdom of the world, are counter-cultural, and non-instinctive.

- We can manifest these divine characteristics (which Jesus so perfectly modeled for us) if we rely on God’s Spirit to work them in us! "Not I, but Christ who lives in me."
