In Matthew 5 verse 5 Jesus says blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth And that word meek doesn't mean weak Sometimes we think of meekness we think of somebody who is lowly and keeps their opinions to themselves and doesn't say anything keeps their head down and Really what it means is humility and gentleness sometimes. It's actually better translated blessed are the gentle for they shall inherit the earth and The greatest example of that is Jesus now Jesus gave his opinion Jesus Confronted when needed to confront but he also showed grace and mercy when he needed to show grace and mercy Jesus is the perfect example of how to react in every single situation and every time he did it was to bring glory to his Father so Jesus is saying blessed are the humble and the gentle those who exist to bring glory to the Lord and Glory to others or the benefit of others that's humility and gentleness Why are they blessed because they shall inherit the earth? Now if you have a long-term view of this an end times view of this It's literally true that those who are humble in spirit those who give themselves to Christ and are part of the church they will Rule and reign with Christ for all of eternity That's the the end theme of the book of Revelation is Jesus wins and if we're on his team we win with him But it means more than just the end time stuff that word earth can better be translated personal life or earthly life meaning in our humility We can find life on this earth. See a lot of people think that it's it's being hard and being harsh and and Almost borderline being a jerk. You got to stand your ground and all those wonderful things And I say wonderful sarcastically. That's what the world teaches But Jesus teaches that we are to serve others that we're here to make the life of other people better and that when we do that Blessed are the humble because what does Jesus say happens to the proud the Lord lowers the proud and he exalts the humble So when we choose to live a life To serve God ultimately and serve others of humility and gentleness We are given and blessed with life on this earth Sometimes that's material thing. Sometimes it's in relationships. Sometimes it's in our churches our businesses However, God chooses to deem blessing. He blesses us and in the end We win even more because we get to be on Jesus team So I want to encourage you today find a way to be humble and gentle serve somebody else do it all for the glory of Jesus and if I can help and serve you in any way just shoot me a message. Let me know. God bless
