The Beatitudes

Imagine walking into a shop where all the price tags had been switched around – where a large screen television is priced at 50 cents and a simple sandwich press was priced at $2000?  That would probably stop you in your tracks for a moment!   That is the same sort of shock that Jesus gave his disciples when he began teach on the mount.  For he spoke of his upside-kingdom, a kingdom where things that are seen as troublesome or people who are outcasts are suddenly highly valued.

Matt 5:1-12
