ARE YOU BLESSED?

Simon Peter answered and said, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." 

 Jesus answered and said to him, "Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, 

for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, 

but My Father who is in heaven.

Matthew 16:16-17

 Then He said to Thomas, "Reach your finger here, and look at My hands; 

and reach your hand here, and put it into My side. 

Do not be unbelieving, but believing." 

  And Thomas answered and said to Him, "My Lord and my God!" 

  Jesus said to him, "Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. 

Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."
John 20:27-29

And John, calling two of his disciples to him, sent them to Jesus, saying, 

"Are You the Coming One, or do we look for another?" 

  When the men had come to Him, they said, "John the Baptist has sent us to You, saying, 'Are You the Coming One, or do we look for another?' " 

  And that very hour He cured many of infirmities, afflictions, and evil spirits; 

and to many blind He gave sight. 

  Jesus answered and said to them, "Go and tell John 

the things you have seen and heard: that the blind see, the lame walk, 

the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, 

the poor have the gospel preached to them. 

  And blessed is he who is not offended because of Me."

Luke 7:19-23

 If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, 

you also ought to wash one another's feet. 

For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you. 

Most assuredly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master; 

nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent him. 

If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.

John 13:14-17

"Blessed are the poor in spirit, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 

  Blessed are those who mourn, For they shall be comforted. 

  Blessed are the meek, For they shall inherit the earth. 

  Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, For they shall be filled. Blessed are the merciful, For they shall obtain mercy. 

  Blessed are the pure in heart, For they shall see God. 

  Blessed are the peacemakers, For they shall be called sons of God. 

  Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, 

For theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 

  "Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, 

and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. 

  Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, 

for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

Matthew 5:3-12
