BLESSED ARE POOR IN SPIRIT
Matthew 5:1-6
Key Verse: 5:3
1. Read vs. 1-2. This passage distinguishes "the crowds" from "His disciples". In what respect are the disciples different from the crowds (4:19)? Why is such a distinction needed for this passage?
2. What does "poor in spirit" mean? (3) Why is this quality first in Jesus’ message? How can someone who “mourns” be considered “blessed”? (4) What are they mourning for?
3. What does it mean to be “meek”? (5) How will they inherit the earth? How can someone “hunger and thirst for righteousness”? (6)
