In Luke’s version of the Beatitudes, we hear that God has a clear preference for the poor, sick, and oppressed. This is the fulfillment, in the flesh, of Jesus’s preaching in the temple in Luke 4, and a message that all of us need to hear on our hardest days. It is an affirmation of everyone’s sacred personhood, and a call to serve a cause that is beyond ourselves.
