The world around us has its own ideas about who are the blessed and happy ones. But as Jesus opens his Sermon on the Mount, he shows us what the truly blessed life is.

The temple in Jerusalem was beyond help. It was filled with corruption, hypocrisy and evil. Although it was a place to be near God, all its leaders were far from Him.
