Judge with Grace

Luke 6:37-42

This morning, we are going to continue in Luke 6, in Jesus’ sermon, sometimes called the Sermon on the Plain. And in this sermon Jesus as given the Beatitudes, promising that those who are poor, hungry, sorrowful, and persecuted will be cared for and vindicated in the kingdom of God one day in the future.

Circumstances for individuals in this life will not always be improved by Christianity, and it is no failure of Christianity when they are not. Christianity doesn’t promise prosperity here and now, it promises forgiveness and a resurrection and everlasting life. The biggest promises are for when Jesus returns.
