What happens in this episode?
In this Jesus Stories episode, we delve deeper into the Beatitudes Jesus proclaimed as he started the Sermon on the Mount. Far from being a prescription for you and me to live, the Beatitudes are an invitation for everyone to be a part of the Kingdom of Heaven. I explain this interpretation from the book, The Divine Conspiracy, Rediscovering Our Hidden Life in God by Dallas Willard.
