Crucifying morality: the gospel of the Beatitudes

Jesus crucifies morality as you know it

The good news of moral bankruptcy (Matthew 5:3)

The good news of pleasing grief and mournful joy (Matthew 5:4)

The good news of having nothing to defend (Matthew 5:5)

The good news of your starvation (Matthew 5:6)

The good news of expensive charity (Matthew 5:7)

The good news that makes you honest (Matthew 5:8)

The good news that wages peace (Matthew 5:9)

The good news that gets you punched in the face (Matthew 5:10-12)

Jesus is the beatitudes.
