Greenville Oaks Church of Christ

Bizarro World

In Matthew 5, Jesus begins his famous Sermon on the Mount with a series of blessings and promises known as The Beatitudes. While the beatitudes are more descriptions than commands, they do have a way of inviting us to live differently in a world Jesus is turning upside down.

These blessings are announcements of good news.

These blessings are an invitation into a risky way of life.

These blessings are an invitation to join Jesus in turning the world upside down.

Having reached the end of the beatitudes, we naturally ask if there is any place of this earth for the community which they describe.

Clearly, there is one place, and only one, and that is where the poorest, meekest, and most sorely tried of all men is to be found – on the cross at Golgotha.

"The fellowship of the beatitudes is the fellowship of the Crucified. With him it has lost all, and with him it has found all. From the cross there comes the call ‘blessed, blessed."
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The Cost of Discipleship
