We’ve heard this song before: blessed are the meek, blessed are the poor in spirit, blessed are those who mourn. For they will gain an ethereal, intangible reward someday. Isn’t that how the song goes? Maybe we need to listen more closely and hear the promise of not a world coming one day, but of a world already here and happening now. Once we hear it, we might be compelled to sing the song, too.
This summer we’re hunkering down in the most iconic sermon of all time: Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount. It’s his longest sustained exploration of the upside down kingdom of God, and while it’s only three chapters, it is filled to the brim with gospel imagination. Is the salt and light metaphor tired or inspired? Is Jesus just nit-picking with some of these laws or is he on to something? Whether you’re traveling this summer or finding ways to staycation at home, join us on this journey to the Mount.
