Matthew 5:3-5 – HAPPY HUMILITY
The word “blessed” means happy. The beatitudes teach us how to be spiritually happy! A key part of this happiness has to do with being humble, especially before God. To be truly happy we should be:
SPIRITUALLY SHORT – “poor in spirit” – Vs. 3
SPIRITUALLY SORROWFUL – “they that mourn” – Vs. 4
SPIRITUALLY SUBMISSIVE – “the meek” – Vs. 5
