What if Jesus’ blessings in Luke 6 weren’t just spiritual inspiration but a political declaration? And what if his warnings weren’t metaphorical but targeted critiques aimed squarely at the powerful systems still ruling today?

In this third installment of What the Bible Actually Says on Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount/Plain, Dr Tyson Putthoff turns to Luke 6:20–26, where Jesus doesn’t just speak about the poor—he speaks to them. From a level place in Galilee, Jesus flips the world upside down with four bold blessings and four prophetic woes that echo Deuteronomy, Amos, Isaiah, and the Psalms.

This isn’t a generic list of virtues. It’s a covenant confrontation.

• ​ The hungry will be filled.
• ​ The weeping will laugh.
• ​ The rejected will be honored.

If you’ve ever felt invisible, excluded, or crushed beneath a religious or political system—Jesus sees you. And if you’ve built your faith around comfort, applause, or influence—Jesus has words for you too.

This is the Constitution of Jesus’ Empire. It doesn’t reward the powerful. It lifts the poor. It doesn’t crown the elite. It crowns the crushed.
