The Beatitudes from Jesus''s Sermon on the Mount are the basis of living God''s way. In fact, they are a fundamental part of being and becoming a Christian; when followed, they can create a closer walk with Jesus Christ.Blessed Adventure is author Dean Duncan''s refreshing perspective on how the Beatitudes play a significant role in our Christian life. Found in the book of Matthew, the Beatitudes offer a pathway to spiritual development and contain nine "blessings" for Christians. These blessings are not archaic, but pertain to the here and now and are beneficial for all followers of Christ.Duncan examines each beatitude and shows how they can be achieved only through Jesus himself-not on our own volition. He shows the unique relationship between the Gospel message and the Beatitudes, pointing out how they support each other and intertwine in such a way as to enrich the understanding of each. In addition, Duncan''s thoughtful interpretation encourages believers to dig deeper into Scripture and forge an unbreakable bond with the Lord.Written in an easy-to-understand format, Blessed Adventure is perfect for Christians young and old.
