Jesus messages are both encouraging and challenging, populist and traditional.  It's easy to hear what matches your worldview and dispense with the parts that don't.  But the Beatitudes teach us that the Gospel is for everyone.  Access is limited only by one's own recognition of whether they need it or not. There is only one door to the Kingdom of God but it is the same door with equal access regardless of race, gender, talent, strength, financial status or anything else.
