This painting series explores the upside-down nature of the Beatitudes, the nine blessings of Jesus from his Sermon on the Mount. Each one is surprising in its own way as Jesus flips the script on who will receive his Kingdom, the character of those in his Kingdom, and what we might expect if we seek this Kingdom above all else.
Tim Mackie of the Bible Project shares that the Kingdom, or as he translates, the Kingdom of the Skies, is “God’s heavenly reality, where everything is done according to God’s good will. And that’s what Jesus is bringing here to the land for people to experience now.” Each Beatitude expands our imagination of the good life-–the life of flourishing God intended and desires for all of humanity not just in the future, but here and now.
The painting includes nine different plants native to the Holy Land that represent each Beatitude. They are growing upside-down as a representation of how God’s kingdom grows in us and in our world in unlikely ways and through unlikely people.
Lastly, these paintings reflect one of the more personally transformative themes of the Beatitudes: instead of growth as an endless race to the top, Christ invites us to grow down in humility, generosity, and self-sacrificial love. And that’s the good life!
