Many people of all sorts were attracted to Him ; some by His words and others by His works. Know ing that they were in search of happiness, Christ proceeded to inform them that true happiness is based on and grows out of a right relationship with God and others. He told His followers the kind of people He wanted them to be and the kind of lives He wanted them to live. True happiness depends on an inward condition rather than on outward cir cumstances or material possessions. In this lesson our Lord directed the attention of His listeners and readers to the following: ' Healing. (Verses 17-19). In the multitude who entered the presence of Christ were those who were afflicted with various diseases and those who were possessed of demons. Out of His heart of great compassionate love Christ healed those who needed it. Through the centuries our Lord has kept on healing the bodies, minds, and souls of people who have needed such. Poverty.1 (Verse 20). The first characteristic of a citizen of Christ's kingdom is that he is conscious of his spiritual poverty. He recognizes that he does not have any spiritual resources of his own, and, for that reason, wholly relies upon God. He does not boast of his talents or attainments, because he knows that he does not have anything which he has not received. Christ does not pronounce a blessing upon a conceited, proud and self-sufficient person, but upon the one who is conscious of his own insufficiency, and his in ability to cope with life, and who fully trusts in God in Whom ample strength and help are found. "Oh, the hap piness of the man who has realized his own utter helplessness, and who has put his whole trust in God." Hunger. (Verse 21a). If a man is hungry, nothing except food will satisfy him. Uncomfortable and discontented, he looks to his environment for the satisfaction of his hunger. . One who hungers after righteousness is aware that he lacks it and cannot be happy without it. Those who hunger after righteousness "shall be filled," meaning their hunger shall be satisfied completely. Unfortunately, only a com paratively few hunger for righteousness. May God fill our hearts with a yearning for righteousness such as we have never had! Grief. (Verse 21b). There is no need to attempt to prove the reality of pain, sorrow, and grief. These things have visited our families, and we have experienced them in our lives. This verse refers to that unpleasant and severe ex perience of grief which is too great for concealment, and is revealed by sobbing aloud. Grief is real to the saved and unsaved, but the Christian is "calm in grief because rich in trust." Persecution. (Verses 22-26). Christ warned His followers to expect and be ready for trouble, hatred, and persecution. In persecuting those who are faithful to the Lord today, the v world employs brutal jest, oiting sarcasm, and cruel - sneers. It is impossible to live for Christ without being sub jected to social obstracism, sneers, and scorn ; but persecu tion for the sake of Christ and His righteousness is not something to whine about. A genuine Christian provokes opposition because his godly life is a constant rebuke to the selfishness and sin of others, and because what he is, says and does serves as a rebuke to their sinful way of life. Those who stand up for Christ will be rewarded for doing so.
