"Uniting Christian & Jewish Clergy from Around the World"
MUST we be "meek" in order to be God’s people?
Does being "meek" mean that men must be effeminate (feminine)? MUST we be "meek" in order to be God’s people? YES, indeed, we must! In fact, as with the other of these "beatitudes," the phrase as Jesus put it is exclusive. The idea is, "Blessed are the meek for THEY ALONE shall inherit the earth." This emphatic statement shocked His Jewish audience. Like people today, they knew how to be spiritually proud & self-sufficient. Also, like people today, they were good at following their external form of religion and they thought they could survive by their own strength; their own wisdom and their own resources. In FACT, they thought that when the Messiah arrived, He would say: “I’m here to commend you for your wonderful spirituality. God is very pleased with you. I’m here to usher you into the Kingdom.” However, His first words didn’t fit in with His audience’s expectations: He said: “Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven. Blessed are they that mourn; for they shall be comforted. Blessed are they meek; for they shall inherit the earth”--Matthew 5:3-5.
