Big crowds followed Jesus. He went up on a mountain, sat down, and taught them.
Jesus said, “Happy are people who know they need God. Happy are people who are sad, because God will comfort them. Happy are people who are gentle.”
“Happy are people who are kind and make peace. They will be called God's children!” Jesus' kingdom is upside-down from the world.
