I Am “Poor In Spirit” (letting go of self to seek after God)
Manage episode 380845883 series 3406333
Matthew 5:3
3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Jesus speaks, no, fills the impoverished spirit created within each of us when we face this,
the human condition:
We must confess our sinfulness.
We cannot buy worthiness with good works.
We have nothing of spiritual worth to offer God.
Yet, we have a spiritual debt to pay.
And, we have no spiritual credit with which to buy our heavenly home.
We need a Savior.
Because Jesus has an eternal line of credit with His Heavenly Father.
And a heavenly home.
Although salvation happens once for all eternity when we accept Jesus, as humans, we seek this eternal state of mind daily: Because we are in a relationship with Jesus, and the worth of our life is in His nature, not ours. When I am “poor in spirit,” Jesus turns my gaze, He puts my face in His hands and turns it toward His Heavenly Father. He does that for me.
