Blessed Beyond Comfort
“Blessed are those who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” — Matthew 5:10
The word translated blessed points to something deeper than comfort or ease
(makarioi, μακάριοι)—a form of wellbeing that cannot be taken away.
We often assume blessing looks like health, success, or security.
And those can be good gifts.
But Jesus is pointing us toward something deeper.
When we commit ourselves to righteousness—
to justice, mercy, and the wellbeing of all—
we may face resistance.
We may be misunderstood or pushed aside.
And yet, this is where true blessing is found.
Because the kingdom of heaven is not only a future promise.
It is a present reality that takes root within us and among us
when our lives are aligned with God’s healing purposes.
Living for righteousness is costly.
But it forms a deeper peace, a shared strength,
and a resilient hope that no opposition can undo.
I’m Horace McMillon.
This is 60 Seconds of Hope.
Peace be with you.
