Published: Aug. 15, 2021, 4 a.m.

Jesus looked at his disciples and told them the way God\u2019s world works: the poor are the blessed ones, the rich are the distressed ones. It seems upside down or backwards to conventional wisdom but it\u2019s true, God has good news for the poor and words of warning for the rich. We are located in an affluent time and place, how do Jesus\u2019 words apply? Are we poor or rich? Sunday we get to wrestle with the good Dr Luke\u2019s recording of Jesus\u2019 word and decipher what is is God wants us to know from Luke 6:20
