Background on the Gospel Reading Last Sunday we heard Jesus call Peter to be his disciple. Jesus
then travels with Peter and the other disciples. Luke reports acts
of healing (a person with leprosy and a paralytic man) and the
call of Levi, the tax collector. Jesus also replies to questions from
the Pharisees regarding fasting and the observance of the
Sabbath. In the verses immediately before today's gospel reading,
Jesus is reported to have chosen 12 men from among his
disciples to be apostles. Today's gospel reading is the
beginning of what is often called the Sermon on the Plain. We
find a parallel to this passage in Matthew 5:1-7,11 that is often
called the Sermon on the Mount. As these titles suggest, there are
differences and similarities between these gospel readings.
When spoken from the mountaintop in Matthew's
Gospel, we can't miss the impression that Jesus is speaking with
the authority and voice of God. The mountaintop is a symbol of
closeness to God. Those who ascend the mountain see God and
speak for God; recall the story of Moses and the Ten
Commandments. As Luke introduces the location of Jesus'
teaching, Jesus teaches on level ground, alongside the disciples
and the crowd. Luke presents Jesus' authority in a different light.
He is God among us.
Another distinction found in Luke's version is the
audience. Luke's Sermon on the Plain is addressed to Jesus'
disciples, although in the presence of the crowd; Matthew's
Sermon on the Mount is addressed to the crowd. In keeping with
this style, the Beatitudes in Luke's Gospel sound more personal
than those in Matthew's Gospel—Luke uses the article “you”
whereas Matthew uses “they” or “those.” There is also a
difference in number: Matthew describes eight beatitudes; Luke
presents just four, each of which has a parallel warning.
The form of the Beatitudes found in Luke's and
Matthew's Gospel is not unique to Jesus. Beatitudes are found in
the Old Testament, such as in the Psalms and in Wisdom
literature. They are a way to teach about who will find favor with
God. The word blessed in this context might be translated as
“happy,” “fortunate,” or “favored.”
As we listen to this Gospel, the Beatitudes jar our
sensibilities. Those who are poor, hungry, weeping, or persecuted
are called blessed. This is, indeed, a Gospel of reversals. Those
often thought to have been forgotten by God are called blessed.
In the list of “woes,” those whom we might ordinarily describe as
blessed by God are warned about their peril. Riches, possessions,
laughter, reputation . . . these are not things that we can depend
upon as sources of eternal happiness. They not only fail to
deliver on their promise; our misplaced trust in them will lead to
our demise. The ultimate peril is in misidentifying the source of
our eternal happiness. The Beatitudes are often described as a
framework for Christian living. Our vocation as Christians is not
to be first in this world, but rather to be first in the eyes of God.
We are challenged to examine our present situation in the context
of our ultimate horizon, the Kingdom of God. Taken from Loyola Press
