The Darrell Johnson Podcast The Sermon on the Mount (1995) | Poor in Spirit
Week 3 | The Sermon on the Mount (1995)
In this sermon, Darrell examines the importance of the first sentence of the Beatitudes, "Blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." He claims that these words set the tone for the entire sermon and suggests that they actually ought to be read before and after every single section of the Sermon on the Mount. He explains that being "poor in spirit" is so foundational because it describes those who recognize their spiritual poverty and dependence on God. Darrell unpacks how the poor in spirit are those who know their need for God and how it is only those who know this need who will inherit the kingdom.
