Blessed Are The Meek
Manage episode 439144783 series 1100589
Adam Ritchard | Matthew 5:1-5, 11:28-30, 26:50-54; John 2:13-17; 2 Timothy 3:1-4; Mark 10:35-45; Philippians 2:5-8; Galatians 5:22-23; 1 Peter 1:3 — In a cultural context that celebrated power, Jesus’ description of the ‘meek’ being blessed would’ve sounded just as strange to His original listeners as it does today. But true Biblical meekness is not weakness, and we are not to be spineless pushovers. Rather we are called to live as Jesus did: God-yielded strength manifested in humility and gentleness.
