POOR FOLLOWERS BLEST
After coming down from the mountain to the flat land, Jesus was
teaching His apprentices and a large group of followers. Looking at
His apprentices Jesus stated, "GOD WILL BLESS YOU
PEOPLE WHO ARE POOR. HIS KINGDOM BELONGS TO
YOU" [Lk 6:20 CE]. Many of the people who come to Jesus,
including some of His apprentices may be poor. Remember one of
His apprentices, Peter, said to Jesus "We have left everything to
follow you" [Mk 10:28 NI], which could make them temporarily
poor. Be careful to not think just being poor entitles blessings but
rather being poor followers will result in God's kingdom. Poor
followers can find comfort from Jesus word's, "PUT GOD’S
WORK FIRST AND DO WHAT HE WANTS. THEN THE
OTHER THINGS WILL BE YOURS AS WELL" [Mt 6:33 CE].
