CHAPTER

Exploring the Concept of Blessings in the Beatitudes

The speakers delve into the meaning of blessings in the Beatitudes, discussing how being blessed is not always what it seems. They examine the Hebrew word 'baruch' and the Greek word 'ashre', explaining the difference between pronouncing God's blessing on someone and using 'ashre' to highlight the ideal state of blessing. Through the Beatitudes, Jesus challenges conventional notions of blessings and reveals that true blessings come from a place of powerlessness and lead to the surprising nature of God's kingdom.
