“At that time: Jesus lifted up his eyes on his disciples and said: “Blessed are you poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. . . . . . . . . . . . .”

Excerpt, Gospel Reading, Wednesday 11th September 2024 – LUKE 6:20-26.

So, the poor referred to in this part of the Holy Bible doesn’t necessarily refer only to those who may be indigent and lacking in material acquisition. Although, this assertion by no means exempt them.

Nevertheless, the emphasis is very much on those of us who have consigned material things behind us and focused our whole being on God.

Recall what played out when Satan in tempting Christ alluded him with the gift of material things? What was Christ’s response? We already know.

Now that the world has become so materialistic. We see how elderly people accept some perks and speak so much half truths and blatant lies for authority people in government who suppress those they should cater for.

My dear friend, to such upright people among us, Christ says, “To us is the Kingdom of God.”

Have a fantastic day folks.
