Why does God want to bless you?

Jesus preached his inaugural sermon to his followers, his disciples. He began his sermon by teaching what it meant to live a life God would be able to bless. Next, Jesus taught them the power of a life lived in service to the King of Kings. He continues his theme about the Kingdom of God by teaching his disciples about the witness a blessed life would be to others. Jesus begins with the words, “You are.” In the original language, the words meant, You exclusively are or only you are. Jesus wanted his followers to know how a servant of the King was uniquely able to be a blessing to others.

Humans always have and always will want to prove themselves righteous. Jesus preached the Sermon on the Mount so that people would understand that God is their King. Why is that relationship with God crucial for anyone who wants to live a righteous, blessed life? Are there areas of your life where you have chosen to reign in power yourself? What needs to be done to restore God’s position as King in your life?
