Matthew 5:1–12: Today’s reading is more than a motivational passage. It reveals Jesus’ deep heart for real human life. By teaching on the mountain, Jesus echoes biblical moments of divine encounter, but he didn’t speak about spiritual techniques or success, but about the honest realities of human weakness. He calls the poor, the grieving, and the vulnerable “blessed,” not because their conditions change, but because Jesus himself becomes their sacrifice and companion. True blessing comes through Jesus’ self-giving love, not through strength or achievement. We repent and trust him because he lifts us beyond our limitations into a life shaped by his sacrifice and grace.
