The Riches of Meekness (Matthew 5:5)
Sermon on the Mount the Lord is describing the inner character of genuine repentance; and the picture He paints is of one who stands in absolute contrast to the spirit and philosophy of the world. It makes no sense to an unregenerate world that has no “no fear of God before their eyes”. It goes against every natural (fallen) inclination of their heart and mind. The character displayed here is to the world the height of foolishness. Man always tends towards thess things that exalt man: self-confidence, self-assertiveness, self-will, self-love, self-glory. But the character of those in the kingdom, who are truly blessed of God, who are in a right relationship with Him turns all of the world’s thinking, under the influence of the evil one, upside down. The Kingdom of heaven is so foreign to man because they are so utterly and uncompromisingly God-centered; it begins and ends with the exaltation and glory of God and the right response of humility, brokenness, meekness, suffering. “If you and I are not, in this primary sense, problems and enigmas to the non-Christians around us, then this tells us a great deal about our profession of the Christian faith.” The character presented here is and unbroken chain; it is a unit; they are not qualities that a person picks and choses from, but flow in logical sequence. So, the first mark of those in the Kingdom is poverty of spirit is to have a self awareness of spiritual bankruptcy and destitution before a holy God - to say, “nothing in my hand I bring, simply to Your cross I cling.” It is to come to God claiming no merits, but bowing before Him as a spiritual beggar holding empty hands to receive His grace. To be truly poor in spirit, is not just intellectual knowledge but is one who mourns, grieves over sin; hates the sin that so robs God of glory and destroys men, but mostly mourns and grieves over the sin that remains in your own heart. Meekness is the character produced by the spiritual mourners. This is not second level Christianity, nor is it instructions on how to enter the kingdom, but is the mark of those who have have been born again, and truly responded to the command of repentance. Those who are truly in the Kingdom of Heaven. Genuine believers.

Sunday Sermon for Week 29-09
The emphasis is on living a life worthy of our calling that is what we were called to do. We must ‘bear with one another’. This is the kind of tolerance of the faults of others that springs from humility, gentleness, and patience. We are called to be ‘one’ in the Lord.

Beatitudes - The Meek
Meekness or gentleness was the opposite of the prideful attitudes and lavish lifestyles of religious leaders in Jesus’ day. Once you realize how sinful you are and mourn that loss, it humbles you. This character trait is one of God’s traits and can only come from him. The promise is that you will inherit the earth—or make it to the Promised Land. Your inheritance is secure and you will receive it just as God promised.

Blessed are the meek...
The big idea is this: that the meek can do anything in Christ. To be meek is a choice - the choice to be mild, humble and gentle. When we are meek, that is, submissive to God, we can be used powerfully for Him (see: 1 Corinthians 1:26-32, and Psalm 37:1-11). Key Passage: Matthew 5:5
