Blessing is one of the most used but least understood of Christian terms. We want to be blessed, and to be a blessing, but do not think a great deal about what that implies. This engaging introduction unpacks the rich, many-layered concept of blessing from a variety of angles, looking at the place of blessing in the scriptures, in theology and in daily life.
It explores:
â⬢ What it means to ââ¬ËBless the Lordâ⬙
â⬢ Blessing in terms of thanksgiving, praise, and recognition of who God is
â⬢ Jesus as the Son of the Blessed One
â⬢ Overcoming the opposite of blessing
â⬢ Who and what is blessed
â⬢ How and when we bless today
With sections on vocation and the ââ¬Ëprosperity gospelâ⬙ movement, this guide will not only help the reader to think differently and more deeply about blessing, but also about the places, people and situations that we bless.
