In Matthew 4, Jesus challenges conventional expectations by revealing that the kingdom of heaven is characterized by blessings for the poor and the last being first. The chapter emphasizes that the kingdom's values are not rooted in power or politics but in receiving blessings from Jesus, the King of the Kingdom.
“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven” - Matthew 5:3. What does it mean that the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to the poor in spirit? In the beatitudes, Jesus subverts the wisdom of his our day with the wisdom of his kingdom. Listen in as Michael Horton, Justin Holcomb, Walter Strickland, and Bob Hiller discuss the first of the beatitudes and how, in God’s kingdom, the poor in spirit are considered “blessed.”
