THE AFTERWORD | Matthew : Season 2 - Week 2
Ever gone swimming in the ocean and gotten caught in a riptide or undertow? Those swiftly-moving currents can rip you right out to sea, no matter how hard you swim. Well, our culture has a strong undertow, and it’s not in the direction of Jesus’ teachings in the Beatitudes. Steve and David go through the Beatitudes - one by one, sharing thoughts and reflections about why each one is so not only counter to our culture, but counter to our own hearts. And in the end, we talk about how each of these statements in Matthew 5 creates a mosaic whose picture is Jesus (and why that’s good news for us). Also, Steve shares his thoughts on which Beatitude is most needed to be embodied by Christians in the world we find ourselves in now.
Speakers: David Tieche + Steve Clifford
