Leadership and the Beatitudes
The Beatitudes are often quoted. But, what does it actually mean to be blessed? You’ve likely heard someone say, “You’re blessed.” Or said a “blessing” at a meal.
Scripture reveals to us a deeper, more nuanced meaning of being blessed. As you listen to Episode 263, you’ll hear several building blocks for this series on the Beatitudes. Then, turn to Matthew 5:3 and explore what “Blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of heaven means to Christ-centered leaders.”
As we unpack this scripture in the context of the beatitudes, we’ll look at how different gospel writers and the author of Philippians helps us to understand the beatitudes.
