Speaking of poverty, I heard an otherwise great preacher quote Luke 7:22 yesterday: “The good news is preached to the poor.” He paused to say, “That is, the poor in spirit.” I checked to see if there was something I was missing in the passage, and double-checked to make sure we weren’t reading Matthew 5:3\. We weren’t. What is it that makes us uncomfortable with accepting that Jesus cares as much about the poor as the poor in spirit?
