The word meek means quiet, gentle, submissive, according to the Oxford dictionary. Many people see meekness as a weakness. That person is easily controlled and will not stand up for themselves.
As Jesus sat down to teach the crowds, He shared truths not embraced by the world. He was teaching them what true faith looks like. Being meek is a sign of true faith as one walks in quiet, humble obedience. The meek are those who are quietly attending to those in need, who humbly come to the feet of Jesus and learn from Him. The meek are filled with the Holy Spirit and allow Him to guide and direct their paths. Their eyes are not on this world, but on the world to come where the meek shall spend all eternity praising and worshipping Jesus Christ, the gentle Lamb who willingly gave His life for the sins of mankind, submitting to the will of the Father. That those who put their faith and trust in Jesus shall not perish but have eternal life.
John 14:2-3 “My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.”
