THE GOSPEL: Matthew 5.1-12
‘Blessed are the poor in spirit.’
An easily recognisable feature of Matthew’s Gospel is Jesus’ authentic teaching. Matthew presents five blocks of teaching, and this is the first extract from the first and most famous of these: the Sermon on the Mount. Moses had climbed Mount Sinai to receive God’s Law, God’s teaching. Jesus climbs this Galilean mountain (hill) to teach the true meaning of God’s Law. Through the Beatitudes in today’s Gospel, he summarises to whom the kingdom of God belongs.
