Bible Text: Luke 6:20-26 (ESV)

Luke 6:20-22

  • Reflect on the radically countercultural definition of being blessed.

  • Why would these be the ones who are blessed in Jesus’ eyes, and what does this say about the values of the world system?

Luke 6:22-23

  • What may come to those who follow Jesus in this world?  

  • What kind of difficulties and opposition have I faced in following Jesus, and have I been able to find some joy in it?

  • Consider what Jesus pronounces woes upon (i.e., curses).  Why would those who experience what’s described in vv. 24-26 actually be in a state of woe?
