The Beatitudes are some of the most familiar words Jesus ever spoke — and some of the most misunderstood. We tend to read the Beatitudes of Matthew 5 as a list of spiritual goals. But what if the Sermon on the Mount opens not with a demand, but with a doorway? This devotional explores the Beatitudes and the Law of Christ together — showing how the inner posture Jesus blesses is the very thing that makes the New Testament's one another commands possible.

The Surprising Doorway: How the Beatitudes Open the Law of Christ

Bruce Mitchell / May 28, 2026

I didn’t meet the Beatitudes in a classroom. I met them in a waiting room — at Harborview, with a woman holding a paper cup like it was the only warm thing left in her life. And in that moment, I realized the Beatitudes are not a list of virtues to achieve. They are the doorway into the Law of Christ.
