2) Several people should sleep in a small room.
3) She sleeps with shrimp while trembling because she doesn't have enough blankets.
4) Because there is no food to eat, we have to eat porridge, eat grains, and starve.
5) I have no clothes to wear, and I have no money to buy clothes, so I have to get clothes that others have worn, and I can't wear clothes that fit the season.
2. Being poor is consistent with lack of greed. The old scholars gave up their greed and enjoyed living a life of poverty.
3. But God added the blessing of possessing the kingdom of God to the poor.
B. The rich are angry (24).
1. The most popular thing in the world is money.
2. The world calls rich people rich people.
3. The rich try to solve anything with money. 1) People buy and sell with money. A rich man and a rich woman always have people boiling. You don't marry people, you marry money.

3) Give rich people the title of “local maintenance” and give them various badges.
4. Rich people with a lot of money do not think they need anyone's help because they can solve these and other things with their own abilities.
5. So God foretells woe to the rich. 6. More importantly, the saints have already received the reward they deserve in heaven, and the rich are already all on earth.
The fact is that they do not receive a reward because they have received it.
C. The saints are to be poor toward the world and rich in faith.
1. The poor need everything. You need this and that too. 1) If you see a lot of things you need, you can easily check your situation.
2) There are many things you need, and you naturally cling to prayer without knowing your situation.
2. If you try to live a godly life, sometimes you will end up poor.1) Do not turn down those who ask for help;
2) If you avoid injustice, it is normal to be poor.
3. If the saints are rich 1) have a lot of inherited property,
2) Neglected the Word (they must have neglected almsgiving, offerings, and missions)
3) There is a high possibility that you have deceived your conscience.
4. Even at this time, there are so many hungry and sick people, how can you become rich?1) You have to share two coats with those who don't have one.
2) If the money deposited in the bank should be shared with the starving neighbors
3) In principle, there can be no rich people.
5. If we share with our neighbors who are weary of the abundance we have, our good deeds become treasures that accumulate one after another in the heavenly warehouse. It's never wasted. 6. From now on, let's save the rich people in the storehouse of the kingdom of heaven. 1) Invest in missions for evangelism,
2) Relief for hungry neighbors,
3) We must help our brothers in tribulation.
7. Material things cannot make people happy.1) Don't brag about a lot,
2) Don't be discouraged if you don't.
8. Let's rejoice when we see what is piled up in the spiritual warehouse of heaven.
II. It is the faith that overcomes tribulation (21,25).
A. Blessed are the hungry.
1. Hunger and sorrow are the result of tribulation. 1) Those who fail in business lack food, and everything is sad.
2) Even if you meet a robber, you lose everything and you can't eat it, so it's sad.
2. Bodily hunger plays a role in reviving our spiritual senses.1) When the poor become rich, they become arrogant;
2) If you fast and pray when you are spiritually frustrated, you will be filled with the Holy Spirit.
3. Crying means crying because it is unfair, and weeping for joy.
2) Thinking about your situation and confessing your contrition,
3) When we repent of our sins and cry, God gives us spiritual peace.
B. Woe to those who are full (25).
1. I have no regrets about everything. Relaxed and relaxed in everything.
2. Naturally, the spiritual sense has no choice but to regress.
3. They will be wretchedly starving. Why? 1) God's will is to divide and average each other.
2) But those who were full neglected to share.
3) Turning away from the misfortunes of our neighbors is Satan's will, and it is to degenerate ourselves into Satan's servants.

2) The scribes and Pharisees are the legalists.
3) People who mistake themselves for being full of truth.

2. The more you realize the truth, the more passionately you must love your soul.
3. The more you realize, the more you should shed tears and mourn for your sins. 1) Let's grieve for not being able to love everyone.
2) Let's be sad that we cannot love our souls passionately.
3) Let us be sad that we cannot pray harder.
III. It is faith that overcomes hardships (22-23, 26).
A. Persecution is a blessing.
1. Persecution is evidence that you have been acknowledged by Satan.1) You have secured faith so clear that Satan can feel threatened.
