Jesus went up on a mount to give us a new law. In the beginning of his message he gave us what many now call the ‘Beatitudes’. These were an invitation to join the new kingdom Jesus was founding. But the invitation wasn’t given to the rich and the powerful. It was not given to the people that mankind would have thought the kingdom would need. The invitation was given to those who recognized their own need for the kingdom.
