In the Gospel of Matthew (5:1-12), Jesus talks about blessedness, which refers to true and lasting happiness. When we look at the Beatitudes, it’s quite clear that they present God’s point of view—for not all of them make sense according to the standards and values of this world. To be poor in spirit goes against the common desire to be prosperous and successful; greed is an important and ever-present part of how the world works. However, Jesus teaches that our true and lasting treasure is in Heaven.
