Luke 6:20 - 6:49
Gospel of LukeSteve Gregg
Steve Gregg examines Luke's version of the Beatitudes in Luke 6:20-49, suggesting that while the poor may be blessed, Jesus does not teach solely on economic circumstances. Rather, Jesus commands that individuals love God and love others, even their enemies. Gregg argues that those who follow Jesus' teachings may be excluded or face persecution, but true followers will have the kingdom of God. The speaker emphasizes the importance of living righteously and resisting societal norms, even in a secular world.
