Matthew 5:3 – “If anyone thirsts…let him come to Me.”

​In Matthew 5, we read the message Jesus spoke to His disciples on a mountain in Galilee. This sermon begins with the beatitudes—the attitudes of the citizens of His kingdom. Jesus is not just another earthly ruler. He is the king of the kingdom of heaven. And so, these attitudes run counter to the culture and kingdoms of men. Like the first beatitude—recognizing your spiritual poverty. What does this look like in the life of a disciple of Jesus? We considered being poor in spirit in our time together on Sunday as we worked our way through just one verse—Matthew 5:3.
