John Owen, English Puritan reflects on the poor being the first to receive the gospel.

There’s a spiritual dimension, but Owen refers to money poor.

The least we can do is not make it weird: be economically stratified & claim 1stc authentic. Big city elite churches may disdain the oil-covered worker; midwestern ones the African immigrant doctor

How can you reflect on your spiritual poverty; welcome those less elite than you?

"Many of them who first received it were [poor], as the Scripture everywhere testifieth: 'The poor are evangelized, Matt. xi.5; 'God hath chosen the poor, James ii.5."
