The Kingdom on Foot: Blessed are the Poor in Spirit (5:3)
Episode 2
Monday, 29 December, 2025

Send us a text In Episode 2 of our slow-and-deep journey through the Sermon on the Mount, we linger over the first Beatitude: Matthew 5:3 — “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” What does “blessed” (makarioi) actually mean? What kind of “poverty” is Jesus talking about (ptōchoi)—and why does He begin His kingdom teaching here? We explore the Greek language, Old Testament echoes, and the spiritual posture Jesus calls the doorway into kingdom life: open hands, honest need, and surrender. This episode isn’t about self-hatred or spiritual performance—it’s about the freedom of dependence and the surprising promise that the Kingdom belongs to those who stop pretending they can earn it.
