Summary
Poor and being blessed, mourning and being blessed, being meek and being blessed, persecuted and being blessed. Let's go to 1 John chapter 1, go to Revelation, and then turn left, quickly bump into 1 John, 1 John chapter 1, 1 John chapter 1, 1 John chapter 1, 1 verse 8. And yet what we see in Scripture is that when we are poor in spirit, in other words, when we understand our own poverty and our need for the Savior, indeed we see that indeed being poor is a blessing in disguise. The word meekness then, when we are called to meekness in the sermon on the mount, the word meekness is a blessing in disguise. We see this meekness that indeed is this blessing in disguise because we think of meekness culturally, but no, it's a blessing in the skies because we ought to think about it meekness biblically. These here, the scripture says, blessed are those who hunger and thirst, but we oftentimes don't often associate with the blessing, but it's a blessing in the sky.
