As Christians, we profess that Jesus lived a human life, suffered his Passion, died on the Cross, and was raised in his Resurrection. If we have the faith to believe all of that, why can it be so difficult for us to understand that we must follow his teachings? Why do we struggle to accept that what Jesus tells us in the Gospels is the framework upon which we should build our lives? In the Sermon on the Plain, Jesus offers his followers two possible outcomes for their behavior in this life and the next: blessings or curses. He offers us the same choice… what will we choose?

Gospel – Luke 6: 17, 20-26
