The Kingdom: Part 3

Mar 16, 2025    Jeff O'Harra

In this week's exploration of meekness, we're challenged to rethink our understanding of strength and power through a biblical lens. The Beatitude 'Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth' takes center stage, revealing a paradoxical truth: true strength comes from surrendering to God. We're reminded of figures like Moses, described as the meekest man on earth, who led a nation through God's power. This message invites us to consider how our lives might change if we truly embraced meekness - not as weakness, but as strength under God's control. It's a call to trust God implicitly, even when the world tells us to assert ourselves. As we reflect on this, we're encouraged to examine our own hearts. Are we striving in our own power, or are we allowing God to work through our surrender? This teaching offers a profound shift in perspective, urging us to find our true identity and strength in Christ alone.
