SynopsisWhat does genuine Christian living look like in the 21st century, and how can we be motivated to live that way? The answer comes from Jesus' sermon in Luke 6 (sometimes known as the Sermon on the Plain), which starts, "Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God and goes on to lay out God's vision statement for the Christian life. It is a manifesto that transcends politics, culture and personality, detailing God's intentions for his people. Alistair Begg unpacks this sermon, encouraging Christians to live a radically different life that upends the world's values and philosophies. It's a lifestyle that is counterintuitive and countercultural, yet one that God blesses with true meaning and impact. As we look at the kindness and compassion of Jesus and ask for the Holy Spirit's help, we'll grow in both the motivation and the ability to obey Jesus' teaching and experience the blessing that comes from that. This compelling book will remind you of God's grace and what it means to follow him, helping you discover the ultimate blessing that is found in him., A mid the blizzard of answers the world offers to that question, Alistair Begg takes us back to 2,000-year-old insights that will never be seen in a commercial or heard from a politician. As he outlines Jesus' "manifesto"-the Lord's vision for life-he explores an approach that is relational rather than political, that upends the world's values and philosophies, that is counterintuitive and countercultural… and yet one that is the key to discovering a life that truly satisfies and that really makes a difference. Here is Jesus' invitation to you to experience life at its very best. It will not leave you unchanged.
