Summary: Mt. 5: 1-12. We, as Reformed Christians, function in the ‘not yet and already’ space. We are aware of the darkness and evil in our midst, and we strain to see God’s blessing in our world. We desire to see the fruits of God’s blessing – because the work is hard and unfairness can become defeating and we seek some motivation to continue on. And, today, we hear this word from Jesus, and we ponder what this blessing might mean for us individually and as a community of believers.
