In Jesus’ Beatitudes, He initially addresses those who are spiritually bereft and those who are in mourning. In other words, as the Healing Physician, Christ first addresses those in pain, those with dis-eases of heart, soul and spirit. As Jesus said in all three Synoptic Gospels, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick; I have come to call not the righteous but sinners” (Mark 2:17).
