NASB | Matthew 5:3 ¶ "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Matthew 5:3 ¶ "Blessed [spiritually prosperous, happy, to be admired] are the poor in spirit [those devoid of spiritual arrogance, those who regard themselves as insignificant], for theirs is the kingdom of heaven [both now and forever]. [Luke 6:20-23] |
Bible Question: I need scripture relating to luck being a blessing. I'm putting together a youth devotion replacig the word luck with blessing |
Bible Answer: Luck is, I'm pretty sure, a pagan concept having more to do with "fate" than "grace". To go for "Lucky are the poor" would be absurd. "Blessed are the poor" sounds absurd to many, but it goes to a deeper truth. Luck is impersonal and capricious. Blessing is personal (ie given by the Living God) and generous. I hope this helps. (Though I'm not sure where it leaves your study....) |
