A while ago I was studying the beatitudes, and contrasting Jesus’ definition of happiness with what our society usually thinks makes us happy. I started thinking, what are the opposite attitudes Jesus is directly attacking in his sermon? That led to this…
Matthew 5:1-12
Happy are the Rich
For theirs are the keys to heaven
Happy are the Content
For they are comfortable
Happy are the Powerful
For they shall rule the earth
Happy are the Full
For they want nothing
Happy are the Vengeful
For they shall obtain respect
Happy are the Experienced
For they shall see everything
Happy are the Fighters
For they shall be their own God
Happy are the Enforcers of righteousness
For they choose who gets to heaven
