Kiddie KorralLesson 16Lesson Text: Matthew 5:1-3
And seeing the multitudes, He went up on a mountain, and when He was seated His disciples came to Him. Then He opened His mouth and taught them, saying: " Blessed are the poor in spirit, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Jesus taught many lessons on how to be blessed. He went up on a mountain and taught a large crowd and he gave them a list of things to do so that they could be blessed. Are you blessed? If you are blessed it means that you are very, very happy! In our lesson today we will learn about people who were very, very happy because they are "poor in spirit".
