These blessingings become the building blocks of Christ’s kingdom. Yet, we may be so familiar with them that we don’t actually know what they mean and how they will transform our lives. In this episode of Bible Unbound, we take a deep dive into Jesus’ most famous words: The Beatitudes.

But how is this possible? He is not able to do this through the sheer force of will or faith but by the power of the Holy Spirit guiding him into humility. In fact, that’s what Paul’s letter to the Philippians is all about — meaning that there is a great irony that lies behind Paul’s letter to the Philippians.

According to the Bible, Mary was not a courtesan, not a romantic interest of Jesus, and not the woman caught in adultery. Instead, what little we do have to go off of is far more bizarre, and far more hopeful than anything we could imagine. Therefore, it’s important that we understand her story rightly because by it we see God’s work in Christ for the salvation of the world.
