The sermon

"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled. Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God. Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye, when men shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad, for great is your reward in heaven; for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you."

Blessed are the poor in spirit? What is the meaning of spirit? Is it the fighting spirit? Evil spirit? poor spirited as in humble and quiet? Perhaps, it is the latter.

Who are the meek? perhaps they are those who are selfless, without a big ego. Those who know that they are not "individuals" "self" "special" but simply part of god, to be one with god. This means they are nothing on their own, as when they are one with god, this separate identity of a self is no more.

"Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged; and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, 'Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye,' and behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye."

This is a very important part of the sermon, as people have become habitual in judging people fast, too fast. It is best to remember this is my own life, and not judge others or find fault just to feel i am better.
