Research Paper About Beatitude
Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven
I believe that the beatitude “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” Means to always be humble. This beatitude shows that people who are humble will go to heaven, while those who are not humble may have other plans in store. Humility is truly something that has been overshadowed in today’s world, with everyone boasting of there own accomplishments, and not thanking or recognizing others for the great things that they have done. Yes, being great at something is awesome, but you did not get there all on your own, you have to give credit where it is due, and boasting about that certain thing will only make you seem cocky.

Many know Tebow for his fantastic football career, but this has tremendously overshadowed how great of a person Tebow is, and how humble he is. After Tebow got his first NFL playoff win, in his press conference, he offered praise to God, not boast about his skills like lots of athletes do nowadays. He also took time out of his extremely busy schedule to go on a mission’s trip to the Philippines. On this trip he funded and helped build the “Tebow CURE Hospital” which has treated 3,300 children who are in poverty. Now, he is working on a worldwide prom for kids with special needs. The last prom had over 75,000 people in attendance at over 350 churches. Tebow says that he wants those with special needs to be recognized because God has a plan for them. Being a star athlete is hard enough, but inspiring and helping the world’s youth is even harder. Something else Tim Tebow does is put bible verses on his eye black for games rather than fancy designs or cool visors. He does this to give credit where it’s due, to God! Tim has worked extremely hard to be the elite athlete that he is, but he knows that if it had not been for God, he would have none of his accomplishments that he has today. On one instance Tebow wore eye black that said “John 3:16”, this game was deemed the 3:16 game because Tebow threw for 316 yards, had 31.6 yards per completion, 3.16 yards per rush, his teams time of possession was 31.6
