Which Category Are You: Blessed or Woeful? - Nathan Rages

In Luke 6:20-26 Jesus declares that some people are "blessed" while others are under God's curse or "woe".  What's surprising is that these categories are completely opposite from what most people would assume:

Blessed are you:

1. Who are poor (v20).

2. Who are hungry (v21).

3. Who weep (v21).

4. Who are hated (v22).

Woe to you:

1. Who are rich (v24).

2. Who are well-fed (v25).

3. Who laugh (v25).

4. Who are popular (v26).

 

Applications:

1. Become a Christian today.

2. Expect to suffer as a believer. 

3. Don’t compromise truth for popularity.

4. Be careful about your wealth.

5. Keep your heart in heaven.
