One of the most amazing things about Jesus’ teaching in the Beatitudes is that Jesus gives us a system of ethics that should define our lives...and it’s an ethic that’s completely different from how our world sees ethics. It’s the ethics of the kingdom of God! As we press further into the kingdom of heaven, the Spirit begins to grow beautiful fruit in our lives. When we live into Jesus’ kingdom, not only does it make a totally counter-cultural statement to our world, it transforms our lives from the inside out.
