Summary/Abstract: The present article deals with the "beatitudes" being in the version of the Gospel according to Luke. They represent one of the thematic part of the Sermon on the Mount. The Beatitudes which Christ refers to presents, in a paradoxical way, the fact in which they are acquired. This happens because, from a Christian perspective, true and lasting happiness, that is, eternal happiness in heaven, can only be acquired after experiencing some material deficiencies and trials for faith in the earthly life. This would be Luke's perspective in this regard. The beatitudes push the true disciple of Christ from the stage of temporal life to that of eternal life. I illustrated this in the analysis of the “Lukan Beatitudes” from a thematic perspective, which also means the particularity of the present study.
