Mighty Meekness

Here I continue the look at people who will benefit from and thrive in God’s New World of Equity… (working with Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount and in particular The Beatitudes). Jesus says, “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.” (Matthew 5:5). They will experience an earth with true justice for all, where those who have been down will be lifted up. And those long overlooked and discounted will be seen as the beloved folks they truly are, and their circumstances will be made equitable and right.

So who are these “meek” the scripture speaks of? I believe Jesus meant meekness as humility, not overrating oneself or acting/ feeling superior to others, but rather seeing oneself realistically, as a child of God equal to others but not better than anyone either. People with true humility will honor and lift up all God’s people in openness and love, respecting, practicing, implementing the Lord’s teachings about loving all people and seeing all people as worthy of EVERYTHING good–made as God tells us, in the image of God. ❤️💜
