Kingdom Living in a Fallen World, Part 2

In Matthew 5:7-12, Jesus teaches us that the Beatitudes are what and who we are when Holy Spirit is at work in our lives. They come as a whole, not a series of options to be chosen. Each beatitude flows from and into each other. By grace, even in difficult circumstances, these "blessed" qualities will be evident in our lives as we pursue kingdom living in a fallen world.
