  In this lesson, Dr. Blomberg discusses the verb tense used in the second half of each of these beatitudes. What did you learn from this exploration of the verb tenses? Did this shed any new light on your understanding of these beatitudes? Explain.

  This discussion of the verb tenses relates back to the topic of “already but not yet”, with God’s kingdom beginning to be seen, but certainly not fully realized here on earth. The people mentioned in these beatitudes, the poor in spirit, those who mourn, the meek and those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, may be seen as unfortunate by those who are not Christians, but in God’s kingdom now and even more so in the future kingdom in heaven, these people are the truly blessed.

  As of now we may be suffering, but Jesus promises that we will – inherit, be comforted, will be filled. His promises are cost in forever rock.

  Sorry to say, Dr Blomberg’s insights into these 4 Beatitudes were vague and ambiguous. I had to look at other sources for a clearer meaning. I’m just a layman trying to get a deeper understanding of the bible.

  Through Jesus Christ, the beatitudes can be applied in our lives now and in the future.
