In this opening statement to His great sermon, Jesus turns our whole understanding about His Kingdom upside down. From the get go, His listeners know that there is something very different about this man’s teaching, and they’d better pay attention.
Interestingly, commentators wildly differ on how to take these blessing statements. Is Jesus describing good Christian character? Is He drawing near to those who are vulnerable? Or is He commending His disciples to the crowds for their radical commitment?
