Beatitudes Echo The Commandments

- Jesus moves the law from tablets to hearts, showing inability to justify ourselves apart from Him.
Beatitudes Are Gospel, Not Checklist
- The Beatitudes are not a checklist of conditions to earn blessing but a gospel-shaped pattern of dependence.
- They begin with poverty of spirit, showing the need for Christ's righteousness.
Fight Spiritual Apathy Proactively
