Luke 6:20-23 And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said:“Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. “Blessed are you who are hungry now, for you shall be satisfied.“Blessed are you who weep now, for you shall laugh. “Blessed are you when people hate you and when they exclude you and revile you and spurn your name as evil, on account of the Son of Man! Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven; for so their fathers did to the prophets.
What really matters? As Jesus sits down his disciples to talk to them about what is important, the Kingdom of God matters first. (cf. Mt. 6:33) We are to seek it, hunger for it, thirst for it, even suffer for it. . When we do, He promises we will find it, and with it we will find all it has to offer, in this life, and the life to come. Truly blessed are those who belong to the kingdom of God.
