The Upside-Down Politics of Jesus: Rethinking the Beatitudes (Sermon on the Mount Series)

Of Such As These. Mike cracks open the beginning of the Sermon on the Mount, by dissecting the word ‘Blessed.’ How does the word translate? What was Jesus trying to say here and to whom? The context of these ‘Beatitudes’ helps us to understand the Kingdom Jesus was ushering in, and how we are to interact with the message He was delivering to those people at that time. What does it mean to be meek? What scripture was Jesus referencing and how would it be interpreted by the folks listening? These are the Politics of Jesus.
