Clergy Corner

Question of the Week:

How will I allow myself to be meek, merciful, and poor in spirit, choosing to rely more often on God’s grace?

It’s difficult to imagine a more countercultural way for Jesus to begin the first of his five sermons that make up Matthew’s Gospel. At that time and as far back as Adam and Eve, poverty and misery were regarded as punishment for sin. These were signs that you certainly did not have God’s blessing. To some extent this is still true, though our culture often puts the blame on the people themselves. In any case, no one who is poor in any way is usually considered blessed. But this is what Jesus leads with. Not only that, so are those in mourning, those too meek to get their way, victims of injustice, and so on. If God truly is blessing them, why are they still so misfortunate?
