It's hard to get your head around it. Jesus doesn't always talk straight up. Sometimes you have to look at what he says and then look again! The Beatitudes are a clear example of this. Read them through once - and you think you've got it. But wait. Is that what Jesus meant - or is there something more there?
As we study the Beatitudes - one line at a time - step aside from the obvious - and consider the spiritual side. You just might be surprised as you realize what Jesus was likley getting at!
