Mind of Christ (Be attitudes)

Jesus humbled himself and made himself of no reputation, and was obedient until death. He also calls us blessed, not because we feel blessed but because he defines that differently. He says that if we are poor in spirit , mourning, meek, merciful, pure at heart, if we are peacemakers, if we are persecuted, and  if we hunger and thirst we are blessed. That list of eight I know is different from what I say when I tell someone I am blessed. How is it that Jesus was all of those things and was he himself blessed, like he calls us? How can we be deeply happy, spiritually fulfilled, and fully satisfied if we are persecuted or poor in spirit? How does that work ? When we are walking with Jesus and becoming more and more like him , how can we count ourselves blessed in the same way he says we are blessed? Let us examine the word of the Lord and divine into what Jesus means when he calls us blessed.
