The Beatitudes are among the most well known verses within the biblical text. The notion that the poor, the merciful, and the peacemakers will be blessed is an appealing message. And yet, it is worth asking how serious Christians take these exhortations from Jesus. Do we really believe that those who hunger and thirst for righteousness will be filled? And if we do believe it, how might we develop the courage to stand up for our convictions so that our thirst for righteousness, for justice will be filled, even when the odds seem impossible? As Jesus states in his sermon, doing this will likely require us to get a little salty with authority.
