The Mountain Message for teens.
When Jesus preached on the mountainside, He flipped the world’s definition of success upside down. He said the truly blessed aren’t the ones with status, power, or perfect lives, but those who are humble, merciful, pure in heart, and hungry for righteousness. The Beatitudes aren’t just nice sayings—they’re a radical call to live differently.
For teens, this means choosing character over popularity, integrity over shortcuts, and compassion over judgment. It’s about being a peacemaker when gossip is easier, showing mercy when grudges feel justified, and staying faithful when it costs you. Jesus promised that those who live this way are part of His Kingdom now and will share in its rewards forever.
