The Pain of Blessing

Send us a text

On today's episode of the Iron Saints Podcast, we continue our journey through the Gospel of Luke. After Christ has assembled His apostles He heads right back to teaching the masses. He leads off and we examine today the beatitudes, the message of blessing and woe, and how the world's priorities and God's priorities clearly are not in line.


The Beatitudes
20 And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said: 
“Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. 
21 “Blessed are you who are hungry now, for you shall be satisfied. 
“Blessed are you who weep now, for you shall laugh. 
22 “Blessed are you when people hate you and when they exclude you and revile you and spurn your name as evil, on account of the Son of Man! 23 Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven; for so their fathers did to the prophets. 

Jesus Pronounces Woes
24 “But woe to you who are rich, for you have received your consolation. 
25 “Woe to you who are full now, for you shall be hungry. 
“Woe to you who laugh now, for you shall mourn and weep. 
26 “Woe to you, when all people speak well of you, for so their fathers did to the false prophets. 


The Holy Bible: English Standard Version (Wheaton, IL: Crossway Bibles, 2016), Lk 6:20–26.
