It’s a good morning.
The Byrds arrangement of Pete Seeger’s adaptation of Ecclesiastes is wonderful. The Byrds just happen to be in my top-three bands too. They were bold when others were mocking. They had a respect for old hymnals which isn’t altogether understood.

Chapter 7. Beatitude 4: Blessed Are They Which Do Hunger And Thirst After Righteousness (for they shall be filled).

If every person knew what it was to hunger and thirst after righteousness there would be no war. Here is the only way to real peace.

#MLJbeatitudes One of the greatest tragedies in the life of the Church today is the way in which so many are content with these vague, general, useless statements about war and peace instead of preaching the gospel in all it's simplicity and purity.

Chapter 6. Beatitude 3: Blessed Are The Meek (for they shall inherit the earth).

The world thinks in terms of strength and power, of ability, self-assurance and aggressiveness. Yet again, we are reminded that the Christian is altogether different from the world.
#MLJbeatitudes He is a new man, a new creation. He belongs to an entirely different kingdom. And if we are obviously different from the non-Christians around us, this tells us a great deal about of profession of the Christian faith.

Chapter 5. Beatitude 2: Blessed Are They That Mourn (for they shall be comforted).

The world regards this as utterly ridiculous! "Forget your troubles" it says. But the meaning is entirely spiritual. He is happy who mourns in spirit.
#MLJbeatitudes Absence of this in the Church is one reason why it is failing to evangelize. As Christians more closely approximate the Beatitudes, they are more sucesful in drawing others in. But not false piety. To be religious is not to be miserable!

Chapter 4. Beatitude 1: Blessed are the Poor in Spirit.

The first, and the key to all that follows. It is an emptying. All others are a filling. The beatitudes are in a specific order for a specific reason. Pour out the old wine, before filling with the new.
#MLJbeatitudes There is no more perfect statement of the doctrine of faith alone. It at once condemns every idea of the Sermon on the Mount which thinks in terms of something you and I can do ourselves.

It is emphatically NOT 'Blessed in spirit are the poor'.
