Day 11 Luke 6: 17-49    Jesus is teaching the disciples    The Beatitudes -  God blessed the poor - the Kingdom of God is theirs (spiritually poor) God blessed the hungry now -they will be satisfied (spiritual appetite) God blessed those who weep now they will laugh with joy (spiritual grief over sin) You may be experiencing this now but not always  God blessed the hated, excluded, mocked, cursed-identifited with me the Son of Man  Because he was hated, excluded, mocked, and cursed    When these things happen to you -rejoice  Your reward is in heaven  He reminds them that their ancestors were mistreated as well    The Sorrows  Who does sorrow await?  The rich -you have your only happiness now they have no spiritual wealth  The satisfied and prosperous now time of awful hunger is before you  You who laugh carelessly-laughing will turn to mourning and sorrow  Praised by the crowds- ancestors also praised false prophets  They may have now but will lack later  Divine approval over human praise    Love for Enemies
