Teaching | Who is Actually Blessed? | Gospel of Matthew
About this episode
Most people think of the Beatitudes as virtues, but what if that's not at all what Jesus was saying? John Mark looks at some of the ancient context around Jesus's opening of the Sermon on the Mount and argues that Jesus is not telling us virtues to aim for, but offering blessing to the downtrodden of the world in the midst of their pain.
Key Scripture Passage: Matthew 5v1-10
