"THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS AT HAND!" JESUS DECLARED.

With one singular focus, He came preaching that kingdom. Doesn't it just make sense that His most famous sermon was precisely about that-the Kingdom?

The Beatitudes stand out as the bedrock of Jesus' message. If you could have only one part, this would be it. Yet, they always seemed to offer something just beyond grasping.

Looking again, though. What if they were not only incredibly simple, but also invaluable for living the Christian life with confidence? What if they are the key to the heart of encouragement that Jesus desires to bring?
