What Would Jesus Say?

Recently, John MacArthur was invited as a guest writer on the Washington Post's On Faith section. I appreciated the entire article, but particularly this quote:

"But to "the poor in spirit" (Matthew 5:3)--those who are exhausted and spent by the ravages of sin; desperate for forgiveness and without any hope of atoning for their own sin--Jesus' call to repentant faith remains the very gateway to eternal life."
