What Made Him Different | Week 3

In Matthew 5, Jesus turns the world upside with his teachings. In the Kingdom of God, meekness & humility inherit the earth; the persecuted and mocked are blessed by God and the poor inherit the Kingdom. Statements like this make Jesus different. He was committed to a life of nonviolence & enemy love. There were no exceptions, no excuses, and no “well…what if’s…” and he calls us to the same. May we, in a world of violent options, hope in Jesus, trust in the eternal and live with hope in God’s kingdom to live now with our future in mind.
