When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up the mountain,
and after he had sat down, his disciples came to him.
He began to teach them, saying:
"Blessed are the poor in spirit,

โ๏ธ๐ Thank you for this Word this morning.
This Gospel is our strength here. Every Beatitude is our story right now:
We are the poor in spirit who have lost everything,
We are those who mourn because we bury our people almost daily,
We are persecuted for the sake of righteousness,
Insulted and attacked falsely because we bear the name of Christ.
But Jesus says - OURS is the Kingdom of Heaven. We will be comforted. We will be called children of God.
This Word tells me that God has not abandoned us. Even here, in the face of genocide for our faith, Christ is on the mountain with us, teaching us, strengthening us.
Rejoice and be glad, for your reward will be great in heaven! We will not give up the faith.
Please continue to pray for us.
