You may not feel blessed when you are hungry or insulted or mourning. You may not be in the mood to rejoice when you feel foolish, weak, or lowly. Then why does Jesus call you blessed?
Peter became a disciple of Jesus, and the Holy Spirit made it clear to him who Jesus was. When others speculated about who Jesus might be, Peter made a clear confession of faith. The implications of that confession still resonate in our personal lives today.

“Christ” is not the family name of Jesus. It is a title. The Greek word “Christ” and the Hebrew word “Messiah” both mean the same thing: “The Anointed One.” Anointing was the practice of pouring liquid over the head of someone to signify selection for some special task. When the Lord had someone anointed, he also poured his Spirit over them. It was the fulfillment of promises made over centuries.
