Resident comic theologians Erick and Abby join us to discuss Luke 6:17–26 (NET):
17Then [Jesus] came down with them and stood on a level place. And a large number of his disciples had gathered along with a vast multitude from all over Judea, from Jerusalem, and from the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon. They came to hear him and to be healed of their diseases, 18and those who suffered from unclean spirits were cured. 19The whole crowd was trying to touch him, because power was coming out from him and healing them all. 20Then he looked up at his disciples and said: “Blessed are you who are poor, for the kingdom of God belongs to you. 21“Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be satisfied. “Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh. 22“Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they exclude you and insult you and reject you as evil on account of the Son of Man! 23Rejoice in that day, and jump for joy, because your reward is great in heaven. For their ancestors did the same things to the prophets. 24“But woe to you who are rich, for you have received your comfort already. 25“Woe to you who are well satisfied with food now, for you will be hungry. “Woe to you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep. 26“Woe to you when all people speak well of you, for their ancestors did the same things to the false prophets.
