Sermon on the Mount E4 – What does Jesus mean when he calls people “blessed” in the first section of the Sermon on the Mount? The Greek word translated as “blessed” is makarios, and its Hebrew equivalent is ashrey, which means “the good life.” But there’s another Hebrew word for blessing, barukh, which refers to blessings from God. In this episode, Tim, Jon, and guests unpack what it means to be blessed according to Jesus’ counterintuitive message as he ushers in the kingdom of the skies. <a href="http://bibleproject.com">View more resources on our website →</a>Timestamps <ul><li>Chapter 1: What Jesus Means by “Blessed” (00:00-13:24)</li><li>Chapter 2: The Meaning of Ashrey in Other Hebrew Literature (13:24-17:55)</li><li>Chapter 3: What Is the Good Life?
