This Changes Everything: Blessings!

Before the disciples can begin their work preaching and healing, they need to spend time learning about the people they will encounter – and the abundance of God’s love for ALL of them.  Jesus leads them up a hill to a quiet spot and begins to teach what we call “The Sermon on the Mount”

The first lesson to the disciples are the Beatitudes – a series of blessings for folks that aren’t the most famous, happy, powerful, or even what we would consider strong.  These blessings – promises really – are for those who at their core who have given up their ego and  their own quest for power.  In doing that – they are able realize, fully, the love of God who promises the kingdom of heaven now and the assurance that they are not alone.

In our turbulent and chaotic world, it is to these people that we are pointed toward to see the face of God.

In Christ,
