PART FOUR OF

THE BEATITUDES:

“BLESSED ARE

“NOW MOSES , “TAKE MY YOKE
WAS VERY MEEK, UPON YOU
MORE THAN FOR THEY SHALL AND LEARN
ALL MEN INHERIT THE EARTH.” FROM ME,
WHO WERE ON FOR
THE FACE Matt. 5:5 I AM MEEK
OF THE
EARTH.” “MEEK” AND LOWLY
is the word God uses to describe His very best… AT HEART…”
Num.12:3
“MEEK” Matt. 11:29
is a word that the world describes as its worst…

The world has no clue as to “MEEKNESS The notable Greek scholar,
the true meaning of IS William Barclay makes in his
meekness. It is convinced
that meekness is a mark of WEAKNESS” book, “Flesh and Spirit” ,
weakness. The fact that this comment about the word
Moses and Jesus are READERS DIGEST
singled out as being COMPLETE WORD FINDER: translated as “meekness”:
marked with the character
trait of meekness confirms MEEK: “THIS IS
that the world does not THE MOST UNTRANSLATABLE
understand its meaning. If “TAME, TIMID,
you read the accounts of BLAND, WEAK, OF WORDS
the lives of Moses and MILD, DOCILE, IN THE NEW TESTAMENT….
Jesus, no one will be able NO SINGLE WORD IS SUFFICIENT
to accuse them of having LACKING TO CONVEY ITS MEANING…
led “tame, timid, bland, AMBITION, WE MUST LOOK TO THE USE OF THE
weak, mild, docile, lacking SPIRITLESS, WORD IN SCRIPTURE TO SHED LIGHT
ambition, spiritless and WIMPISH”
wimpish” lives on earth. ON ITS MEANING.”

Holding to such an erroneous
definition of meekness,
the world scoffs at the

proclamation of this Beatitude
that it will be the meek that will

inherit the earth. Meekness
isn’t weakness-it is God’s

hidden key to great strength.
