About this episode
Ben Fleming discusses the Beatitudes and the concept of blessings in the context of brokenness and the Kingdom of God.
Westside One: On the Mount Week 2 | The Beatitudes reveal an upside-down kingdom where Jesus made statements like “Blessed are the poor in spirit…” (v. 3) and “Blessed are those who mourn…” (v. 4). Jesus did not mean that these people earned blessings by being sad or broken – instead he revealed how the Kingdom of God is available to those who are in broken places.
