About this listen

Matthew 5:3 "Blessed are the poor in spirit because the kingdom of the heavens is of them."

The first thing Jesus teaches in the book of Matthew is that the poor in spirit are blessed.

Over the next few episodes I'll present an exegetical interpretation of the first eight "beatitudes" or "makarisms" according to Matthew.

Whilst there are plenty of biblical interpretations and theological interpretations around, it would be good to present an exegetical interpretation (based on the Matthean text).
