“Blessed [spiritually prosperous, happy, to be admired] are the poor in spirit [those devoid of spiritual arrogance, those who regard themselves as insignificant], for theirs is the kingdom of heaven [both now and forever].
Matthew 5:3 AMP
Glory be unto God for this beautiful day and the opportunity to rejoice and be glad in it.
Today’s scripture is one of the Beatitudes Jesus taught during His sermon on the Mount. It actually was His first teaching during His earthly ministry.
They are referred to as beatitudes and some have described as the “Be Attitudes”. Basic prescriptions given by our Lord Jesus Christ. Blessed are the spiritually poor!
The amplified bible says that those who have rid themselves of any form of spiritual arrogance. That is doing the basic things God requires of His children and not esteeming ourselves highly. Avoiding spiritual jargons and gimmicks to project our spirituality.
May our focus be on the Lord Jesus Christ and serve with humility rather than being spiritually arrogant. May we be spiritually prosperous and inherit God’s Kingdom in Jesus Mighty name. Amen
