God's Beatitudes and the World' S
Psalm 119:1-8
Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD.…


The world has its own idea of blessedness. Blessed is the man who is always right. Blessed is the man who is satisfied with himself. Blessed is the man who is strong. Blessed is the man who rules. Blessed is the man who is rich. Blessed is the man who is popular. Blessed is the man who enjoys life. These are the beatitudes of sight and this present world. It comes with a shock and opens a new realm of thought that not one of these men entered Jesus' mind when He treated of blessedness.

(John Watson, D. D.)
