Matthew 5:5 – Blessed are the meek

Matthew 5:5 – Blessed are the meek

Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. – Matthew 5:5 (NIV)

Today’s commentary by Dave Whitehead, Author of Making Sense of the Bible

Meek in the Bible is not the same as weak. Meekness literally means gentle. It takes great strength to be gentle. Jesus is implying that the rule and reign on his earth is to be a gentle one. To show restraint is a sign of ruling over your own passions. To be faithful in this little thing makes us rulers over much.
