About This Message
Jesus opens His Sermon on the Plain pronouncing blessing on the poor, the hungry, the weeping, and the rejected. He wasn't pulling this out of nowhere — He was stepping into an ancient melody sung first by Hannah, then by Mary: God lifts the lowly and humbles the proud.
“If dependence is the objective, then weakness is an advantage.”
Key Points
- 1
Blessed are the poor — not poverty itself, but dependence on God. Wealth often blinds us to our need for Him.
- 2
Blessed are the hungry — that gnawing emptiness is a sign you were made for something more than this world gives.
- 3
Blessed are those who weep — tears are not a curse. They point to the joy that is coming.
- 4
Blessed when people hate you for Christ — rejection by the world is validation from heaven.
- 5
The thread from Hannah to Mary to Jesus: God takes the weak and does something extraordinary.
