Day 5: Matthew 5.1-16

We don’t have to make sense of the beatitudes. We just have to sit under them.
But note that the first four relate to people who suffer, paralleling Luke 6. The second four speak of those who work to bring in the kingdom – the merciful, the pure in heart, peacemakers, those who stand up for righteousness and so are persecuted.

to feel is to understand + a v16 is reminder to be the best we can be

“In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.”
