So whether we're mourning, whether we are poor in spirit, whether we're hungering and thirsting for righteousness, it is for these kinds of folk that the blessings of the Father are especially available. The self-reliant try to disqualify themselves. The scholar Dick France suggests in this passage the key phrase may well be in verse 11, the phrase 'your Father in heaven'. The first thing Jesus shows us about God is that God is a loving Father. By and large in verse 9 and 10 the Lord Jesus is trying to say that even human fathers want the very best thing for their children, and human fathers don't want to give confusing signals to their children.
Most human fathers do want to protect and to love and to give.
That's by no means universal, but it's a generally true. Jesus is trying to explain that God is a loving Father. He's that kind of Father in heaven, like a human father but much more again. And of course He is a loving Father who is also God as well. The second thing about God our loving Father is that He Supplies the Best Gifts.
