“Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”
Matthew 5:3
What does it mean to be poor in spirit?
Jesus is talking about being a beggar.
He is saying, “Blessed are the beggars.”
He is not talking about finances here.
He is talking about a person being poor spiritually.
Before a person can enter into the kingdom of heaven
he must first admit that no matter how much he may have
in the material realm or psychological realm,
he is spiritually bankrupt and a beggar before God.
If he doesn’t see that, he will never possess the kingdom of heaven.
As believers, we are just beggars
showing other beggars where to find food.
Do you see yourself as a beggar in need of the Bread of Heaven?
The world looks down on material beggars,
but God lifts up the spiritual beggars.
