Matthew 5, Beatitudes and turn the other cheek Martin Luther King Jr. Sunday Leader One: We come to worship a God who redefines strength... Leader Two: Blessed are the meek... One: ...a God who pushes the mountains flat and pulls the valleys level. Two: ...for they shall inherit the earth. One: We come to worship an unexpected, counterintuitive God... Two: Blessed are the peacemakers... One: ...a God who turns us away from our instinct to lash out, our longing for revenge. Two: ...for they will be called children of God. One: We come to worship a God who asks an awful lot of us... Two: If someone strikes you on the right cheek... One: ...but a God who does not leave us alone, who walks with us in a human body, who took the greatest of risks, and rose to joyous life. Two: ...offer them your other cheek also. One: So come. Two: Come to worship God. Comments are closed.
