ALC Sermon 11/06/2022 - Blessed are the Poor in Spirit
Channel: Ascension Lutheran Church PGH
Date: 2022-11-07

Text: Matthew 5:1-12, Revelation 7
Summary: On All Saints Sunday we mourn and celebrate. Sadness and joy at the same time is a hard state of mind for a non-believer to understand, but we have hope in the face of death! Jesus taught in Matthew 5 the poor in spirit are blessed because the kingdom of God belongs to them. That is you, me, and all the saints in glory. Revelation 7 gives us the glorious picture of the victory celebration we anticipate when our Lord returns. Until then we hope in that certain future!
