The Sermon on the Mount lays out for us what it means to be a citizen of Christ's kingdom. The chapters we're working through in Matthew 5-7 layout for us what the Lord desires of those who profess Christ. It describes what our inward and outward desires and actions should look like of those who profess to be in Christ.

As we continue on in this current series, our text today is Matthew 5:3:
"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

"There is no-one in the kingdom of God who is not poor in spirit. It is the fundamental characteristic of the Christian and of the citizen of the kingdom of heaven, and all the other characteristics are, in a sense, a result of this one."
-Martyn Lloyd Jones

As we expound on this text today, I hope we will all grasp much more what it truly means to be poor in spirit.
