Nice Quote

What was so shocking about Jesus’ list was not the form but the content. Blessed are the meek? The mournful? The poor in spirit? ..What so happy about hungering and “Rejoice and be glad.” No one with a lick of sense was going to vote for any of those definitions of the Good Life, but Jesus did not ask for anyone’s approval. He just redefined the Good Life in 9 short sentences and held them out for everyone to see: 9 portraits of kingdom people, previously known as victims, dreamers, pushovers and fools. These are the chosen ones, He said, the blessed ones who shall see God face-to-face. These are the happy ones, the lucky ones, who shall be satisfied- not because they got an advance copy of rules and played by them to win but because WINNING WAS THE FARTHEST THING FROM THEIR MINDS.

How often it had occurred to us in times whereby we think we will not do well in exams, but get good grades unexpectedly..
