Blessings and Woes on the Plain

Overview & Insights
"Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God." (Luke 6:20)
Jesus blesses the poor, hungry, and grieving and warns the rich, full, and comfortable, then calls his hearers to love enemies, do good without expecting return, and treat others as they wish to be treated. Luke's saints are named by their vulnerability, not their achievement.
