#4-24 The Beatitudes

What happens in this episode? In this Jesus Stories episode, we delve deeper into the Beatitudes Jesus proclaimed as he started the Sermon on the Mount. Far from being a prescription for you and me to live, the Beatitudes are an invitation for everyone to be a part of the Kingdom of Heaven. I explain this interpretation from the book, The Divine Conspiracy, Rediscovering Our Hidden Life in God by Dallas Willard. Scriptures used in this episode Matthew 5:3-12 Luke 6:24-26 Matthew 4:17, 23-25 Matthew 5:7 (The Message) John 16:2 Luke 6:24-26 Isaiah 61:1-2; Luke 4:18-19 John 3:5 Other references used in this episode include: The Divine Conspiracy, Rediscovering Our Hidden Life in God, by Dallas Willard Jesus Stories, Episode #4-11, “A Nighttime Chat” Jesus Stories, Episode #4-12, “You Must Be Born Again” We’re on Social Media Facebook Instagram Twitter/X You Tube Unless otherwise indicated, all Scripture quotations are taken from the Holy Bible, New Living Translation, copyright © 1996, 2004, 2015 by Tyndale House Foundation.
