Blessed are… (Luke 6:20-26)

Blessed are… (Luke 6:20-26)

Jesus begins orienting his disciples to the expectations of Kingdom life. Jesus’ first sermon in Luke is packed with some very counter-cultural and subversive truths that ought to be deeply challenging.

Blessed (soul-happy) are those impoverished, hungry, aware of sin, and persecuted but woe (warning of disaster) to those who are rich with satisfied appetites when it causes us to neglect the health of our souls. Woe to those who laugh along with the filthiness of the world and those who don’t represent Christ boldly out of fear of the opinions of people.
