Jesus' Humble Example

The Beatitudes are a description of those that are happy or “Blessed”. They are a
description of the new life that the Spirit of God puts in us when we are
regenerated. As such, they are a description of what true Spiritual life looks like,
and of course our perfect example of that life is Jesus Christ. We're going to look
this morning specifically at the first beatitude, the first characteristic of new life,
and that is to be poor in spirit. What does it mean that if Jesus is our perfect
example of each of these characteristics, that he was poor in spirit? Let's pray
and then we will see what God's word tells us about the character of Christ.
