Luke 6:20-26:
Jesus comes down from the mountain with blessings, Beatitudes and woes. The Beatitudes, though fewer than in Matthew’s Gospel, speak to the disciples about how those hardships they endure will ultimately become blessings. The woes are directed to those who have much, but because they do not see to the needs of others, they too will one day suffer.
To love you above all things means that I must let go of all that binds me, and grab hold of you and you alone.
