Luke 6:17, 20-26:
Luke offers a different approach to the beatitudes then Matthew, but this has more to do with the reader. They both emphasize dependence on God alone. Jesus stands before his disciples and a crowd of both Jewish and non-Jewish people. He blesses those who trust in God alone and warns those who turn away from God by caring only for themselves.
It is easy to be lured by human values even though time and again they prove untrustworthy. Help me to hear, to understand and to live my life dependent upon you and you alone, my God.
