Poor In Spirit

Matthew 5:1-3 ESV 

The Sermon on the Mount

Seeing the crowds, he went up on the mountain, and when he sat down, his disciples came to him.

The Beatitudes

And he opened his mouth and taught them, saying:

“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Only the poor in spirit can come to Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven. Only someone poor in spirit can repent and make a straight way for Christ. We can only make room for His Spirit if our spirit is not puffed up with pride. The way to God is a narrow path and few will find it. If you are in Christ, you found it.
