The underlying foundation of Jesus Christs kingdom is poverty, not possessions; not making decisions for Jesus, but having such a sense of absolute futility that we finally admit, Lord, I cannot even begin to do it. Then Jesus says, Blessed are you . . . (Matthew 5:11). This is the doorway to the kingdom, and yet it takes us so long to believe that we are actually poor! The knowledge of our own poverty is what brings us to the proper place where Jesus Christ accomplishes His work.
Indeed. Thank you for this beautiful devotion!
