Resurrection Discipleship | Blessed are the Upside Down
Resurrection, the Beatitudes, and the Audacity of God's Blessing
April 27, 2025
Matthew 5:1-12
Second Sunday of Easter
Rev. Teer Hardy
Our risen Lord calls us to lose ourselves for His sake in a world that tells us to protect ourselves at all costs. The empty tomb declares that true power is found in humility and true blessing in mercy. The resurrection does not just vindicate Jesus—it vindicates the whole upside-down Kingdom of God.
Do not walk away from the Beatitudes.
Do not water them down.
Do not wait for the world’s approval.
Live them as if Easter is the truest thing that ever happened.
Because it is.
Blessed are you who do.
