Most of us know about the "Beatitudes" of Matthew chapter 5. They list the many ways we are "Blessed".in His kingdom. Blessed are poor in spirit, mourners,gentle, hunger and thirst for righteousness, merciful, pure in heart, peacemakers, and persecuted. The New Testament ends with another list of "Blessed". Beatitudes in Revelation. In between the two sets, we find the reason for it all. Jesus.

Rev 19:9-Blessed are those who are invited to marriage supper
Rev 20:5-Blessed is one who has a part in the first resurrection
Rev 22:7-Blessed is he who heeds the words of the prophecy
Rev 22:14-Blessed are those who wash their robes and have right to tree of life and may enter by the gates into the city.
