Happiness and Sorrow (LUK 6:20-26)

[6:20] Jesus looked at his disciples and said, “Happy are you poor; the Kingdom of God is yours!

[6:21] “Happy are you who are hungry now; you will be filled! “Happy are you who weep now; you will laugh!

[6:22] “Happy are you when people hate you, reject you, insult you, and say that you are evil, all because of the Son of Man!

[6:23] Be glad when that happens and dance for joy, because a great reward is kept for you in heaven. For their ancestors did the very same things to the prophets.

[6:24] “But how terrible for you who are rich now; you have had your easy life!

[6:25] “How terrible for you who are full now; you will go hungry! “How terrible for you who laugh now; you will mourn and weep!

[6:26] “How terrible when all people speak well of you; their ancestors said the very same things about the false prophets.
