God looks at things differently than we might have assumed. Jesus said the poor in spirit are the ones who are blessed and are the ones who are in. We are people who have wealth or status and say they are blessed. And what does it mean for those who do not have money or are not well known? Are these people cursed by God? Jesus says no they are blessed, now.
To have a need and to recognize you have a need is key in the Kingdom of God. The person who has wealth or position thinks they are in control of the situation. But the person who is unknown and doesn’t have funds must rely on someone other than themselves.
Your need is your ticket into the Fiesta-Life.
How does the beatitude, blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the Kingdom of God change your calculus? Please comment below.
