Blessed Are The Meek
The BeatitudesSteve Gregg
In this talk by Steve Gregg, he discusses the third beatitude from Matthew 5:5, which states "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth." Gregg explains that this beatitude is a restatement of an Old Testament verse in Psalm 37:11, which also states that the meek will inherit the earth. He emphasizes that meekness is not weakness or passivity, but rather a spirit of resignation to God's will and a willingness to defer to others. Gregg uses various scripture passages to illustrate how meekness is a characteristic of Christ and how it relates to spiritual and material leadership.
