Description: Jesus' Beatitudes present nine sequential steps to true blessing: the first four (begging for help, grieving self, leaning on God, hungering for righteousness) describe how one enters the kingdom of heaven, while the last five (becoming compassionate, pure, a reconciler, morally strong, and joyful under persecution) describe what increasingly characterizes those who inhabit it.
