Spirit
To be poor in spirit is a sad state I
know, the world has turned its back on your, and left you to the “wolves”. Well guess what Jesus went to the poor in
spirit first, Jesus talked mostly wherever a crowd could gather, he took his
ministry out to the people. Whenever
Jesus spoke he spoke in terms that everyone would understand, he used common
everyday things to help send home his messages to those gathered around him.
Why do I say these people were poor in
spirit? For some the religious leaders had turned their backs on, and said the
peoples problems were a punishment from God.
Some were just shunned by the community; some were hated because of
their jobs or social standings. Still
some knew they needed help in theirs lives, and that Jesus could give them that
help.
Same is true today, there are people
hurting (for one reason or another) all around us. As Christians, as true followers of Jesus
Christ we are to seek out these people and bring them closer to a right
relationship with Christ. For 0nly
Christ can truly stop the hurting.
Why the poor in spirit? They are the ones who know they need help and
are more willing to call on God for that help.
As they say “Once you hit rock bottom, there is nowhere to go but
up.” The poor in spirit have hit that
spiritual rock bottom and they know they need help to climb out of that pit,
and they are more willing to call on God for that help.
