What Is the Blessing in Being Meek?—Ken

A common belief is that a meek person is timid, doesn’t stand up for him or herself, and is perhaps a doormat. There is a vast difference between this perception and what Jesus meant when he said that the meek shall inherit the earth. Jesus was telling us that there is an inner quietness and calmness expressed by a meek person that is a result of one’s trust in God.

It is the polar opposite of meekness as understood by many. It is a strength that allows one to act assertively when necessary, like when Jesus overturned the tables of the moneychangers in the temple, yet make each decision from a place of centeredness. We look forward to having you join us in our open sanctuary or on Facebook live to discover what is means that the meek inherit the earth.
