Episode description
The first half of the Beatitudes declare a truth that anyone familiar with the Old Testament already knows: God is the champion of the poor and needy. Things aren’t as they should be, and the righteous person longs for God to set things right. But this isn’t a passive wish; the righteous will want to get in on the action, to join God’s work of bringing peace (the rich Old Testament concept of shalom) to a broken world.
