Makarios is the word the Greeks used for the gods’ own happiness — flourishing untouched by trouble. Jesus turns it on its head: blessed are the poor in spirit, those who mourn, the meek, the persecuted.

In his hand, makarios is not about circumstances but about belonging to God’s kingdom. The truly fortunate are not the comfortable but those whom God claims.
