  How did your study of the blessings and woes found in Luke 6 further your understanding of Jesus’ Beatitudes?

  I found it interesting listening to the lecture because, in my mind, it seems that these scriptures apply to us as Christ followers. I continually tell my brothers and sisters in Christ that “if you aren’t being mistreated and getting grief from people about your walk, you are walking in the wrong direction. Over the past 8-10 years God has worked hard on my heart to teach me that not everyone who professes Christ is really a Christ follower and even though I always known about the ‘sheep and the goats’ everyday I begin to see how that will happen around me every day. I live in a small town, rural where most folks are members of some mainline church. There are ten churches in this small area and I’ve begun to believe, like Lot, I wouldn’t be able to find a handful of people who really have the heart of the savior and it breaks my heart. So whether or not the blessings are for Christ followers, which I totally believe, and the woes are for “fake” Christians, which I also believe I have found in my walk that I have to be as “wise as a serpent” along with gentleness. I must use the gift of discernment all the time.
  Great course!

  The blessings and woes found in Luke 6 are similar to Jesus’ Beautitudes. Luke 6 and Sermon on the Mount speaks on the unfortunate and the those less fortunate.

  That we don’t have to be ‘macho’ in the world’s eyes, because we have a truly ‘macho’ God. “God will be the fully macho judge one day.” We can live confidently by His Kingdom values and flourish under God’s reign. Ours is the kingdom of God.
