Beatitudes (Part 1)
The Life and Teachings of ChristSteve Gregg
In this talk, Steve Gregg explores the Beatitudes found in Matthew chapter 5 and Luke chapter 6. He notes the similarities and differences between the two versions of the sermon and highlights the main differences in the Beatitudes. Gregg emphasizes that the Beatitudes are not about material poverty but rather a spiritual condition, and that they give the Church a different set of marching orders than those given to Israel. He also discusses the idea that being blessed does not necessarily mean being admired by others, but instead may involve persecution for righteousness' sake.
