THAT'S WHAT HAPPINESS IS
Matthew 5:1-12
I will certainly admit to having some
difficulty with a title for this lesson. I
thought about calling it "Who the Happy Ones
Are " or "Where Happiness Is Found." I know
those are awkward arrangements of words. I
have a friend who says no matters what your
business is your sentence structure ought to be

shall be called the sons of God. Blessed are
those who have been persecuted for the sake
of righteousness, for there's is the kingdom
of heaven. Blessed are you when men shall
revile you and persecute you and say all

Rejoice,and be glad, for your reward in heaven
is great. For so persecuted they the prophets
who were before you." (Matthew 5:1-12)
As Matthew introduces the Sermon on the
Mount and tells what happens, sort of sets
the tone for us, he uses some words that are
more important than they may appear to be at
the very first sight of them.
