The Kingdom of God is not like the kingdoms of this world. Power and warfare are inescapable aspects of the kingdoms of this world. According to Jesus’ teaching in the Sermon on the Mount however, the values of the Kingdom of God celebrate the peacemakers. That is why He said “blessed are the peacemakers.”
Episode 10: Manifesto: Life, Politics, and Reality in the Kingdom of God
In this episode, we continue our look at the beatitudes from the Sermon on the Mount with
Matthew 5:9 –Blessed are the peacemakers!
Although our series through the Manifesto continues, this is our final episode looking at the beatitudes, or what we are referring to as the value statements.
What we traditionally refer to as the “Sermon on the Mount” was actually a revolutionary manifesto for a new way of life in the Kingdom of God. In today’s unsettling and polarized age, the teachings of this Kingdom Manifesto are as relevant and vital as ever. In this multi-part series, JB Shreve and Faithful Considerations takes a deep dive into the Manifesto: Life, Politics, and Reality in the Kingdom of God.
