We haven't learned the secret Jesus taught in the Beatitudes - that true, lasting happiness simply isn't to be found by seeking it directly. Happiness is a by-product, a bonus that comes when we seek what is really important. And the things that will bring us the satisfaction we long for are not necessarily what the world considers meaningful. Jesus did not have to have an outward stimulus to make Him happy, Billy Graham points out. ""He had learned a secret that allowed Him to live above the circumstances of life and fear of the future. He moved with calmness, certainty, and serenity through the most trying circumstances- even death! What was His secret' He gave it to us in the Beautitudes.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Billy Graham</note> <subject> <topic>Religion -- Christian Life -- Spiritual Growth</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Beatitudes -- Criticism, interpretation</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Happiness -- Christianity</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">226.9306</classification> <classification authority="ddc">G738-B60</classification> <identifier type="isbn">0849905087, 0849930340</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/15520/1.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/15520/1.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2024-0</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119071505.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
