Engaging God Through Meekness
from Marda Loop Church Podcast Hosted by Marda Loop Church Podcast
Pastor John Van Sloten of Marda Loop Church continues his series on The Beatitudes from Jesus’s Sermon on the Mount. Today, Pastor John discusses the third Beatitude (blessing),” Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth.” Pastor John unpacks for us what it means to be “meek.” Given the life and times of our world today, meekness seems to be quite counterintuitive! We live in a world that praises strength and power. So, what does it really mean to be of a “meek” nature? And, what does it have to do with inheriting the earth?! Jesus lived it so that we could learn from his example and be to others what he is to us. And then, well, we gain everything – in short, we, “inherit the earth” and can live a life renewed with God.
