Salt Light
Because the Beatitudes change who I am—not just what I do,
I am changed from the inside out. But what I do is radically changed.
Persecution
The Beatitudes are windows into the character to which Jesus calls me.
Even as He shapes a heart of peace, Jesus prepares me
for the reality that living for Him won’t always be easy.
Peacemaking
The Beatitudes are windows into the character to which Jesus calls me. After purity, Jesus invites me to become a peacemaker — a living reflection of His reconciling love.
Purity of Heart
The Beatitudes are windows into the character to which Jesus calls me. After mercy, Jesus calls me deeper — to a pure heart.
Hunger and Thirst for Righteousness
The Beatitudes are windows into the character to which Jesus calls me. Could meekness really be that important?
Poverty of Spirit
The Beatitudes are windows into the character to which Jesus calls me. Where does Jesus start in reshaping my life?
