Blessed are Poor, Hungry, and Sad

Luke 6:20-21 
20 Then He lifted up His eyes toward His disciples, and said: “Blessed are you poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. 21 Blessed are you who hunger now, for you shall be filled.  Blessed are you who weep now, for you shall laugh.

What did Jesus start teaching?  He spoke of the poor and hungry and sad finding true riches and satisfaction and joy.  All these are found seeking God, aiming at Him with all the heart.  He spoke of God's kingdom within us, not forced by external keeping of rules, but with a changed heart and His presence within us to motivate and enable us to follow Him.  This is grace.
