The Beatitudes can be seen as being revolutionary. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus addressed a primarily Jewish audience and used many phrases and ideas common to Jewish thinking and law at that time. But the Beatitudes presented values that were the opposite of that culture and are also opposite to the values of our time. So, if you really want to know and enjoy life to the full, then take a closer look at these words of Jesus found in the Beatitudes.
