Postcards from the Future - Blessed are the Gentle

January 27, 2019 Speaker: Ian Campbell Through the season of Epiphany we are going to visit the teaching of Jesus called the Beatitudes. These eight "rights and responsibilities" have been called the constitution of the Kingdom of God. We have been talking about the Christian hope as the life after the life after death and we'll see how these principles are seated in the current dynamics of the Christian life in the world and how they will be seated in the new creation. Along the way we will explore theories on the unfolding of the future events of our world. Blessed are the Gentle Matthew 5.5 Traditionally this verse is translated "meek." How interesting that Moses was said to be the "meekest" person on earth. What is that quality? And how would that characteristic qualify someone to inherit the earth? How does a person become meek and how is the quality of meekness manifest in behaviour? Thoughts?
