This chapter explores the idea that true blessings come from spiritual gifts like forgiveness, righteousness, adoption, and eternal life, rather than just material possessions or success in the worldly terms. It urges listeners to shift their focus towards recognizing and appreciating the spiritual blessings as signs of God's favor.
“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.”
