Blessed are the Meek

We continue our study of the Sermon on the Mount and come now to the Beatitude of meekness. This is a quality of the Christian that is often misunderstood and overlooked. Yet, we work to consider the Biblical understanding of the word and also see many examples in the Scripture of men and women who displayed this. Jesus himself is the chief example, for he did not revile and threaten when he was unjustly tried and crucified, but entrusted himself to the Father.
