Well this week the passage is Matthew 5:1-12, the Beatitudes. Several years ago I remember reading Robert Schullers book, the Be- Attitudes, arguing that waht Jesus describes in this section from what is called the "Sermon on the Mount" the attitudes of Kingdom people.
He suggests that what Jesus is inviting us to do is to become Blessed by acting and living in ways that are Kingsom like. Hmm. I wonder if that is possible?
My recollection of the Be-attitudes is that they are hard, esoteric, very unlikely ways of living and being. And yet, maybe that is because I haven't read them carefully, or maybe only read them in a bible version that used language that was remote and so made the attitudes seem unreachable.
What do you think?
