Introduction
The Beatitudes of Jesus are sometimes called the "Beautiful Attitudes” because they describe the inner character of those who are members of the kingdom of God. These teachings make us face ourselves and hold us up against God's standards for the kingdom so we can see our need and run to renew our minds to the ways of the kingdom and grow!
