The Beatitudes
In The Beatitudes: Becoming Citizens of the Kingdom, learn why, even though we face difficulties in this life, we have the ultimate blessing as members of God’s kingdom.
Spoken blessings are powerful. All throughout the Bible, we read stories of people’s lives and lineages being radically shaped by a blessing spoken over them.
So it’s no surprise that Jesus took time in the Sermon on the Mount—one of his most powerful teachings—to speak blessings (the Beatitudes) and call God’s favor upon his followers, including those whom the religious elite might deem unworthy or outsiders.
Learn why, even though we face difficulties in this life, we have the ultimate blessing as members of God’s kingdom.
