The Meek

If you were to assume for a moment that one day there will be a unified group of like-minded people that will one day rule over the earth, what do you think they would be like? How would you describe them? Would they be the intellectually or culturally elite who won the world with their ideas? Would they be the financially elite who won the world through economic dominance? Or would they be a supreme military power who won the world through bloodshed and violence? Jesus provides the shocking answer to this question when He says in Matthew 5:5, “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.” How can this be? How will the meek one day inherit an earth that is so presently full of hostility? Ryan explains the answer in the fourth message of this twelve part series on the Beatitudes.
