Sermon on the mount
1 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him: 2 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying, 3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 5:1-3
Introduction of the Kingdom of Heaven and explain what it is. Calling disciples as in John chapter 1 after His baptism. The difference explained between Old Testament law and New Testament Spirit.
The formation of Man as in Gen 2:7 and spirit’s condition and life under that spirit. Lord introduces a new understanding of what it means Poor in spirit and how we can live that life through His life. He has come into this world offering that life. That is the true meaning of Blessed are poor in the spirit.
