The only way we can truly embody Jesus’ vision of God’s kingdom and God’s justice and God’s peace is by opening ourselves to accept life as it is and our own vulnerability to the pains and losses and disappointments of life.

It is only as we embrace life in this way that we can find true joy, and can open ourselves enough to leave the competition behind and instead relate to those around us in compassion and integrity.

Today’s message is based on Matthew 5: 1-2, 5
