This Sunday, we begin a new series through Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount, beginning with what’s known as the Beatitudes. The Beatitudes are not a list of requirements for entering the kingdom of heaven, rather they represent the heart-attitude of those belonging to it. Christ’s followers will exhibit some measure of all eight qualities listed in these Beatitudes. How do you react to these eight heart-attitudes listed in Matthew 5:1-12? Do you look at them and say, “Impossible; I can never be like this,” or do you look at them and say, “I long to be like this!” How you respond will reveal what you know about Christ. Come and see how it is that your heart can be melted and transformed to be like these Beatitudes.
