BLESSED ARE THE MEEK READ: Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. -Matthew 5:5 THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Judges 9-10 Luke 5:17-39 One problem with the English word meek is that it rhymes with weak, and people have linked the two words together for years. A popular dictionary offers a secondary definition of meek as "too submissive; easily imposed on; spineless; spiritless." This causes some people to question why Jesus would say, "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth" (Matthew 5:5). Greek scholar W.E Vine says that meekness in the Bible is an attitude towards God "in which w accept His dealings with us as good, and therefore without disputing or resisting." We see this in Jesus who found His delight in doing the will of His Father. Vine goes on to say that "the meekness manifested by the Lord and commended to the believer is the fruit of power....The Lord was ‘meek' because He had infinite resources of God at His command." He could have called angels from heaven to prevent His crucifixion. Jesus told His weary, burdened followers, "Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am [meek] and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls" (Matthew 11:29). He was the perfect model of meekness. When we are tired and troubled, Jesus invites us to discover the peace of meekly trusting Him. - David MacCasland Love sent the Saviour to die in my stead. Why should He love me so? Meekly to Calvary's cross He was led. Why should He love me so? - Harkness God has two dwellings, one in heaven and the other in a meek and thankful heart. - Walton |
