5. Jesus says, “Blessed are the pure in heart,” and he was so pure that no one could find a legitimate charge against him at his trial (26:59–60). 6. Jesus says, “Blessed are the peacemakers,” and he often offered peace in healing and salvation to the people he met (Mark 5:34; Luke 8:48; John 14:27). Jesus offers peace, though not at any price (Matt. 10:13, 34). 7. Jesus says, “Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,” and he was persecuted constantly, even to the point of death.
