The Beatitudes (Matthew 5:1-20)

They were walking along, they came the top of a hill, and Jesus just starts talking. That's the context for the Beatitudes and all of Matthew 5.Join Rev. Adriene Thorne and Rev. Jim Keat as they discuss this portion of the sermon on the mount and what it means for Jesus' words to be descriptive rather than prescriptive -- Jesus isn't telling you what you need to do in order to be blessed but he's telling the people around him that they are blessed exactly as they are!
