The Beatitudes aren’t commands, but spiritual attitudes displayed by those who truly follow Jesus. He started with being poor in spirit, which is having an attitude of brokenness. Jesus gave them in a certain order for a reason. Because until you’re broken before the Lord, every other spiritual attitude He described is unattainable. Brokenness isn’t a bad thing, it’s a blessing. (Matthew 5:3)
