The Symbolic Structure of the Beatitudes

- In this video I explore the meaning of the Beatitudes in Matthew 5. These famous passages can help us understand how Christ is not only the “top of the hierarchy”, so to speak, but He also fills it, and provides the means for others to participate in creation as microcosms of Himself. It’s also important to understand the surrounding context of the Beatitudes and how they fit into the bigger image of who Christ is.

I'm so encouraged to be a follower of Christ Jesus 🙏. Following From India 🔥
Being a convert from prot. I'm constantly blown away at the magnificent God of Orthodox understanding and teaching. It's a way better God than the prots God. I understand and sympathize with atheist when they are critical of their (prot) understanding of God.
Man I've been just diving deep into the Beautitudes the last two weeks and have been blown away. Glad to see this video right now.
Sadly this puts many sermons i have heard from ordained C of E priests to shame....
There is a lot of weak sauce here. Arbitrary expressions and much contradiction. I don't mean this disrespectfully, just want to see Jonathan stop overreaching.
This is very important, please take time to consider it:
I understand poor in spirit to mean "spiritually poor". Or spiritual beggars. These people, in their need, will receive spiritual gifts from God. It's similar to when Jesus says, i didn't come for the healthy but for the sick.
Blessed are those who offer Christ on CZcams, for they shall experience the fruits of Heaven!
"You have been filled in Him, who is the head of all rule and authority." Colossians 2:10
This video blows me away. I'm stubborn, arrogant and sometimes judgmental. I feel separated from God because of it ... I feel poor in spirit. I'm not tapping into God's light, I feel beaten. I also just found out a family friend lost his best friend to suicide. I believe they were poor in spirit, and not in material things, but spiritual things. Very sad. I think poor in spirit are those who are downcast, who feel beaten .. they feel the world will not give them a break. They are very close to the kingdom of God, and they need to tap into the true hierarchy, but it does not always go well. Very sobering. Stay close to each other, and dont take each other for granted my on-line friends. Blessed are the poor in spirit ... but it is a war isn't it?

I felt and understood this on an indescribable level. Thank you for sharing the Holy Spirit's teaching. Amen.
Thanks Jonathan you are a blessing to the world
Thank you very much for this video, I have been heartbroken over today's restriction of the Latin Mass and this video has given me a lot of comfort. Our Lady of Mount Carmel, Pray for us!
Mourning for others, compassion…that’s really good. I had only thought of that verse as related to one’s own sins or one’s own griefs.
I love this explanation of the symbolic understanding of this scripture... it's awe inspiring what Christ was saying, and what a joy to see the above and below coming together in the coherence of the kingdom. We are not of this reality. Beautiful and hopeful!
Thank you Jonathan. This video is much appreciated
I always liked to take "blessed are the poor in spirit" to mean "the poor are blessed in spirit" meaning that the poor have more need of the spirit and so are blessed with more of it.
Can't wait to check out all your older videos. A friend of mine shared a vid of yours (the Star Wars one) and I'm fascinated. I love reading symbolism in artworks, especially Christian symbolism, which is pervasive. If only secularists knew how much of their thinking is structured on Catholic imagery systems! Haha!
The idea of being poor in spirit, I learn from this podcast that it has something to do those who are detached from the material word but still find it difficult to be attached to Christ,they want to know God but the pain of the loss they suffer from not being part of the world weighs them down,amazing Jonathan, I have never thought of this before..
