Blessed Are The Poor in Spirit
Published 8 months ago
Description
We spend so much of life chasing happiness. The next raise, the next vacation, the next relationship, because we believing that if we could just get there, we’d finally feel complete. But Jesus opens His most famous sermon with a statement that turns our view of happiness upside down:
“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”
In this message, we unpack what it really means to be “poor in spirit,” why true joy can only be found when we come to God empty-handed, and how material abundance and moral excellence can actually keep us from the life God wants for us.
