Explanation of Matthew 5:3
द्वारा New Christian Bible Study Staff
The “poor” or “needy” in the Bible represent those who know very little about spiritual things, but want to learn.
“Spirit” represents our mind when we are receiving true ideas from the Lord.
A “kingdom” represents the doctrines or beliefs of a church.
This verse, then, says that those who know little, but are willing to learn directly from the Lord, will end up with the knowledge and wisdom of angels.
To be “blessed,” meanwhile, means being receptive to the Lord’s love and teaching.
Bottom line: We can learn many things from many sources, and it's valid to do that. But if we
want to learn about the Lord and spiritual things, we need to learn from the Lord
and from the Bible.

Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.
