Truth Worth Living – S3E6 – The Beatitudes 8.27.24

Welcome back to Truth Worth Living, where we seek to understand God’s word so we can live in God’s will.

Today, we continue our journey through the Beatitudes, where Jesus shares the surprising blessings found in God’s kingdom. In Matthew 5:5, Jesus says:

“Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.”

To the crowd on that mountainside, this statement was shocking—meekness didn’t get you ahead in life, it got you pushed around. But Jesus was turning the world’s values upside down.

He wasn’t talking about the meekness of resignation, where people shrink back out of fear or insecurity. Jesus was talking about the meekness of resolution—where true strength is held back for the sake of others.

Think of it like this: You have the power to knock out a horse with one punch (like legendary boxer Joe Louis), but you choose patience and gentleness instead. That’s the kind of meekness Jesus blesses in His kingdom.

This meekness isn’t weakness—it’s strength under control, driven by a deep sense of who we are in Christ.

Meekness by resolution is a quality worth cultivating, and this is truth worth living! 🙏✨
