If we can understand the word "blessed" we can understand what Jesus meant.
The Greek word for blessed means fortunate, well off, and happy;
it takes the mystery and confusion out of the Sermon on the Mount.
"That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowedging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus." PHILEMON 1:6
If we do not acknowledge by knowing and saying the good things that are ours or in us in Christ Jesus, then we can not communicate or tell others about our faith effectively!
