As we started navigating the "Sermon on the Plain" in Luke 6 we began wrestling with the difficult blessings and Woes that Jesus laid out in 6:20-26. (You can catch the podcast on our podcast page if you haven't listened in yet)
As an addendum to the conversation I wanted to pass on this quote that I neglected to include Sunday Night.
"God has a preferential love of the poor not because they are necessarily better than others, morally or religiously, but simply because they are poor and living in an inhuman situation that is contrary to God's will. The ultimate basis for the privileged position of the poor is not in the poor themselves but in God, in the gratuitousness and universality of God's agapeic love"
-Gustavo Gutierrez
