Episode 68 – Blessing for All!

Jesus begins the Sermon on the Mount with words of blessing, that we know collectively as the Beatitudes. They are not an exhaustive list, but a reminder to each and every one of us: no matter your circumstances, no matter what you have done or left undone, you are blessed. You have a place in God’s coming kingdom.

This was good news for the crowd of people that clamored to see and hear and be touched by Jesus early in his ministry. People who didn’t feel particularly blessed, who were dismissed and disregarded by the worldly powers. And it’s good news for us. God’s blessing is upon us. How will you share this good news?
