World's worst Bible interpretation, the competition goes on...

Here is an exegesis of Luke 6: 20-26 (c.f. previous post):

First Part: it means that the rich are indeed blessed but that this blessedness extends even to the poor.

Second Part: Luke’s narrative develops divine reversal quite a lot, that’s just another instance of it. My guess is that the Lukean community must have felt pretty downtrodden and oppressed to feel the need to develop such themes.
