Beatitude - Blessed Are The Poor In Spirit

The Beatitudes are apart of Christ's Sermon on the Mount.

Matthew 5:3, "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for their's is the Kingdom of Heaven."

Commentary for Matthew 5:3, "Jesus began His sermon with the words that seem to contradict  each other. But, GOD's way of living usually contradicts the world's. If you want to live for GOD you must be ready to say and do what seems  strange to the world. You must be willing to give when others take, to love when others hate, to help when others abuse. By giving up your own rights in order to serve others, you will one day receive everything GOD has in store for you."

I feel those who have the Spirit of GOD (Holy Spirit) in them (because they are believers in Jesus' salvation for them) are not poor in their Spirit, but poor due to the unbelieving world taking from them. It is or can be a burden in this life when Christians are discriminated against (even unto death) because a dying world of mankind chooses to reject Christ's Eternal Saving Grace for them. They are blinded and cannot or will not see the truth. The glory that awaits GOD's Children is beyond any earthly imagination! 

"Blessed are the poor (but in the Spirit of GOD) for their's is the Kingdom of Heaven." Matthew 5:3 Those not having His Spirit whether poor or rich will never have the Kingdom of GOD. Take Christ as your Savior today and be apart of His Glorious Kingdom forevermore!
