Last Sunday’s readings introduced us to Jesus ministry in Galilee. Over the next 4 Sundays we will hear Jesus teachings in chapters 5 – 7. These chapters are known as the Sermon on the Mount. Today we hear his sermon called the Beatitudes. These explain the true meaning of the Law and righteousness. This message serves as the heart of the Kingdom of God. If we live this we will make the world a safer place and we will be assured a place in God’s Kingdom.
