Sermon on the MountSteve Gregg
In this talk, Steve Gregg discusses the first four Beatitudes found in Matthew 5:3-6. He explains that being merciful will lead to obtaining mercy and that the comfort promised in God's kingdom is not limited to heaven but rather is something that Christians can experience in the present. Gregg clarifies that the promised justice and righteousness in the Beatitudes are not political but reflect the reign of God's kingdom, which Jesus came to establish. He also emphasizes the importance of humility and meekness as necessary qualities for inheriting the earth and satisfying one's hunger and thirst for righteousness.
