The beatitudes are gospel they're not law they're not expectation they're proclamation. We treat that as a condition so if you're broken enough and you are meek enough we can expect to hear from God. The image captures the hope and desire of the broken hearted who are us, our loved ones or in the church sitting next to us. They need to hear fromGod all will be well all is forgiven.
As Christians, we often struggle to view God as one who wants to meet us with words of comfort and good news. But understanding God’s heart towards sinners is not just a therapeutic exercise, it’s our only hope in the midst of our spiritual fatigue. In this episode, White Horse Inn hosts Michael Horton, Justin Holcomb, and Bob Hiller discuss the first of the Comfortable Words, Matthew 11:28, exposing our weariness and longing while exploring the rest that Christ offers.
