Then he looked up at his disciples and said: “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.

“Blessed are you who are hungry now, for you will be filled.

“Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.

Luke 6:20–21

The beatitudes of Jesus convey the moral vision of God.

God calls blessed those the world would not.

The poor, the hungry, the mourning, those who struggle are those who are blessed in God’s eyes.

To the rich, the powerful, the contented, he offers a warning.

“Woe to you who are rich, for you have received your consolation.”

This reversal brings to mind the question:

is Jesus saying the world needs to be turned upside down or right side up?
