E. Stanley Jones says: “How blest are they who know their need of God; the kingdom of heaven is theirs. This is the Keynote of the kingdom. It strikes a dart straight at the heart of self-sufficiency, the ego. Be poor enough to receive and everything is open to you, above all the very kingdom of heaven belongs to you. Not that you belong to the kingdom of heaven – you do- but more astonishing still, the kingdom of heaven belongs to you – all its resources, all its forgiveness, all its power, all its everything belongs to you if you are poor enough to receive it." Another quote from E. Stanley Jones: “so the second beatitude of those who mourn, of those who care, care that many, yea that most people, do not know this kingdom are unhappy and frustrated. So we mourn for them, a redemptive mourning, a mourning that does something about it beyond mourning.”
