Jesus begins the Sermon on the Mount with a surprising declaration: true blessing belongs to the "poor in spirit." This message from Matthew 5 explores what spiritual poverty really means, why humility is the foundation of the Christian life, and how recognizing our need for Christ opens the door to the blessings of God's kingdom.
