What does it mean to be blessed according to Jesus?

Answered in 2 sources

Being blessed, as described by Jesus, refers to having the eyes to see the truth of God’s grace and mercy revealed in Christ.

In Luke 10:23-24, Jesus conveys a profound truth regarding the blessedness of those who see and understand the gospel message. Throughout biblical history, prophets and kings longed to see what Christ's disciples experienced. This highlights the unique privilege believers have in recognizing the fullness of God's grace through Christ. True blessedness stems from the revelation of Christ in us, enabling us to perceive the beauty of grace and the gospel. Hence, this understanding calls for a response of faith and compassion towards others, embodying the mercy and joy that Christ exemplified.
