"The Meek Shall Inherit the Earth" - Redefined
By ZyberLord
"Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth"
(MATTHEW 5:5). This well known statement of our Lord is taken from the sermon on the mount; from the part some call "the beatitudes". The word "meek" means to be gentle, humble or considerate. It is the opposite of arrogance and violence. Those who are willing to share and sacrifice in behalf of others are the MEEK. Those who seek for domination and will use any means to trample and crush others are the opposite of what the Lord refers to here.
Meekness does not mean weakness! It does not mean one must cower or retreat from his principles. It does not involve the surrender of ones rights. Meek men and women of the Bible showed firm resolve, courage, conviction and strength. So must we.
The phrase "inherit the earth" is a figure of speech which
denotes the highest of blessings. These blessings are realized
when the righteous enjoy the good things of life which the wicked
often overlook in their pursuit of whatever. Also there is the
peace, security and hope in Christ.
