Theme: The Beatitudes
Brethren,
Happy new month.
We continue with our quarter series on the Beatitudes. This time, we look at the blessedness of the meek.
Key Learnings:
1. “Meekness” is a humble attitude that expresses itself in the patient endurance of offences. “Gentleness” is a practical synonym. It implies mercy and self-restraint. Meekness is not weakness; it is power under control.
2. Though the world may not celebrate or appreciate it, meekness is expected in the life of a believer. Scripture not only commands it, but holds up many examples of meekness, including our Lord Jesus Christ.
3. Though meekness may be reviled by the world, But God promises that those who are meek, who submit to God and trust him to defend them, who submit their power to God will inherit the perfect kingdom God is establishing here and now – the earth. In this kingdom, we receive by God’s grace the good things the arrogant fruitlessly strive for in the present earth, and more.
