Episode 581 - What Are the Beatitudes?

What are the Beatitudes, and why do they seem so paradoxical and counter-cultural? In this episode, we explore Jesus’ opening words of the Sermon on the Mount and how they reveal what a renewed world truly looks like. Drawing from Matthew 5 and the teaching of Pope Benedict XVI, this study explains the Beatitudes as the Kingdom of Heaven breaking into the present—end-time realities already at work in daily Christian life. Learn how Jesus speaks to both the crowds and committed disciples, calling believers into a new relationship with God shaped by the values of the coming Kingdom.
