Blessed, Part 2: Blessed are the poor in spirit
Calvin takes us into the first beatitude and explores the role of spiritual poverty in our christian journey and frames it as an embracing of humility.
“Blessing is not primarily about what God promises to do to someone. It is primarily about what God is going to do through someone. Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven – in other words, when God sets up his sovereign rule on earth as in heaven, it’s the poor in spirit through whom he will do it.”
