The Beatitudes are portals to a new way of thinking. They are not platitudes, but paradoxes. This Sunday, special guest Pastor Brian Zahnd shared in our Human series on the Beatitudes. They offer blessings to those the world would deem 'unblessable.' The Beatitudes are the politics of Jesus in the government of God. If we can become a people formed by the Beatitudes then we will receive comfort and mercy.
