LESSON AIM: Children should know how to behave well.

CHILD-RELATED TRUTH: Blessings come from Almighty God.

INTRODUCTION: It is important to start by acknowledging what Jesus meant when He used the word “blessed” throughout this teaching. The original Greek word used for blessed” was makarios. This word can also mean happy, joyful, or blissful. An easy way to
explain what Jesus was trying to say to a child could be to point out the difference between being happy and being joyful. Being happy is
like eating a piece of candy. It’s wonderful while the candy is in our mouth, but once the sweet flavor is gone that’s it. Being joyful is like
being full after eating your favorite meal. Not only did you enjoy eating the food, but now you feel full and satisfied. When Jesus uses the word “blessed” He’s talking about being full and satisfied with the contentment that comes from knowing God.

PROGRESSION OF EVENTS: Matthew 5: 1-12. Blessed are:

  1. Poor in spirit means those who humbly accept their need for Christ.
  2. Those who mourn shall be comforted because Jesus is our comforter
  3. The meek, those who are gentle, slow to anger, and having controlled strength
  4. Hunger and thirst for righteousness means longing more to be like Christ
  5. The merciful who responding with compassion for others when they deserved to be punished.
  6. Pure in the heart is having the right motives and being blameless before God
  7. Peacemakers seek to bring peace among oppositions or bad circumstances
  8. Persecuted for righteousness sake is been mistreated for being obedient to God
  9. When you are wrongly accused of evil for God’s sake

CLIMAX: Rejoice and be exceedingly glad may be difficult to do but Jesus promises us great reward for doing the right thing.

CONCLUSION: Blessing is God’s gift in our lives, even when we don’t deserve it. Because God loves us, He wants to give us good
things.

CHALLENGE: I want you to listen closely here because this is very, very important. We can be homeless, family-less, and in the hospital, and still be very, very blessed. Let’s have a sword drill to find out how we can always have God’s blessings, even when it seems like we have nothing in life. Take out all bookmarks and
fingers from your Bibles and hold them over your heads. When I say go, look up Psalm 29:11. Go! When we follow Jesus, God
strengthens us and gives us peace. We don’t have to have nice things or even be healthy to be blessed. We are blessed when God is with us, and God is with us, in our hearts, when we choose to love him and follow his commandments. Jeremiah 17:7 says, “Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him.”

INVITATION: You can only be blessed if you have the saving knowledge of our Lord Jesus (John 3: 16)
