Arriving, Pt. 2: The Lucky Ones

Who's got it made? Who's living the good life? Jesus turns our notion of success and "blessedness" on its head. The Beatitudes are a stunning reversal of fortunes made possible because of God's arriving Kingdom. Pastor Glenn Packiam helps us see that Jesus lived this kind of upside-down life, and it resulted in His death. Yet God vindicated Jesus by raising Him from the dead, showing that this kind of life wins out in the end. But is such a life possible? In Christ, our blessedness trumps our brokenness, making Christ's blessing the truer word, the final word, and the transforming word.
