Tuesday 5 March
Read Luke 6:17–49
Think
In this section Jesus spends some time teaching. In a brief 32 verses he paints a picture of a
world upside down. So far Jesus’ actions
have illustrated God’s love and care for those who are broken; in this teaching
he speaks of how God who is compassionate reaches out to the suffering and
struggling:
“Blessed are you who are poor, who are hungry, who weep, whom
people hate…”
None of the categories sound very blessed – but they all
illustrate God’s heart of compassion.
Pray
The values which Jesus teaches are the rocks on to which we
should build our world. So often we build ‘without a foundation.’ Read prayerfully through 6:20-26.
