Luke 24:1-12 (Complete Jewish Bible)
1 but the next day, while it was still very early, they took the spices they had prepared, went to the tomb, 2 and found the stone rolled away from the tomb! 3 On entering, they discovered that the body of the Lord Yeshua was gone! 4 They were standing there, not knowing what to think about it, when suddenly two men in dazzlingly bright clothing stood next to them. 5 Terror-stricken, they bowed down with their faces to the ground. The two men said to them, “Why are you looking for the living among the dead? 6 He is not here; he has been raised. Remember how he told you while he was still in the Galil, 7 ‘The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men and be executed on a stake as a criminal, but on the third day be raised again’?” 8 Then they remembered his words; 9 and, returning from the tomb, they told everything to the Eleven and to all the rest. 10 The women who told the emissaries these things were Miryam of Magdala, Yochanah, Miryam the mother of Ya‘akov, and the others in their circle.
11 But the emissaries didn’t believe them; in fact, they thought that what they said was utter nonsense! 12 However, Kefa got up and ran to the tomb. Stooping down, he saw only the burial cloths and went home wondering what had happened.
Luke 24:1-12 (New International Version)
Jesus Has Risen
1 On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. 2 They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3 but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. 5 In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead? 6 He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: 7 ‘The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.’ ” 8 Then they remembered his words.

The Blessing that is from God differs from the world version of blessing. To assume you are blessed because you have a big bank account, and many possessions is a worldly view of blessing. True blessing of God is distinct and can only be received through Him.
The Blessing
The Greek word Makarios: /makários ("blessed") describes a believer in enviable("fortunate") position from receiving God's provisions (favor) – which (literally) extend ("make long, large") His grace (benefits). This happens with receiving (obeying) the Lord's in birthings of faith.
This word was used 50 times in the New Testament to emphasize the blessing of God.
Examples from the Word of God : Types of blessings

Job 22:12 (Complete Jewish Bible)
12 “Isn’t God in the heights of heaven,
looking [down even] on the highest stars?

Job 22;12 Exhalation - The Lord allowed Satan to test Job. Through the testing his friends accused Job of wrong doing. His friends said you must have done something to anger God and that He was against Job. Job's wife even urged him to curse God and die. Job's faith was steadfast and he continued through the trial and testing to bless God. After this the Lord brought Job 2 times as much as he had following his time of trouble. God used Satan to bring the blessing and his enemies brought gifts to Job.
(Psalm 128:3 Complete Jewish Bible)
3 Your wife will be like a fruitful vine
in the inner parts of your house.
Your children around the table will be
like shoots from an olive tree.

Psalm 128:3 Production- Godly man was blessed then the wife also was blessed.
2 Samuel 5:17-25 (Complete Jewish Bible)
17 When the P’lishtim heard that David had been anointed king over Isra’el, all the P’lishtim went up in search of David. On learning of it, David went down to the stronghold. 18 The P’lishtim came and deployed in the Refa’im Valley. 19 David consulted Adonai, asking, “Should I attack the P’lishtim? Will you hand them over to me?” Adonai answered David, “Attack; I will certainly hand the P’lishtim over to you.” 20 So David went to Ba‘al-P’ratzim and defeated them there. He said, “Adonai has broken through my enemies for me like a river breaking through its banks.” This is why he called the place Ba‘al-P’ratzim [Lord of breaking through]. 21 The P’lishtim had left their idols there, so David and his men took them away.
22 The P’lishtim came up again and deployed in the Refa’im Valley. 23 When David consulted Adonai, he said, “Don’t attack! Circle behind them, and engage them opposite the balsam trees. 24 When you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, advance; because then Adonai has gone out ahead of you to defeat the army of the P’lishtim.” 25 David did exactly as Adonai had ordered him to do and pursued his attack on the P’lishtim from Geva all the way to Gezer.
2 Samuel 5:17-25
Victory - David prayed and obeyed God, God then blessed him with new direction and strategy to get victory.

Jesus is the same today, yesterday and forever. We as children of God, are still heirs to the blessings. The blessing comes from our Lord and we are to obey Him. He alone is able to give us the blessing that lasts for eternity.
