The Beatitudes (Matthew 5:3-12)

What does it mean to live as a citizen of the Kingdom of Heaven? In this episode of The King’s Way, Michael McIntyre walks through the Beatitudes of Matthew 5, exploring the characteristics that mark those who belong to King Jesus. From being poor in spirit and mourning over sin to meekness, mercy, purity, peacemaking, and enduring persecution, Jesus presents a radically different picture of the blessed life than the world does.The Beatitudes are not a list of qualifications we must accomplish to earn God’s favor—they are the characteristics of those who have received it. True blessing is found not in favorable circumstances, worldly success, or earthly satisfaction, but in belonging to Christ and living under His rule.
