    The meek are not weak. They trust in God’s sovereign rule over all things, submitting in His way and time. Their strength is Spirit-controlled, so that God’s will be done and His glory be manifested.

    The purpose of the Sermon on the Mount is to inform God’s disciples of the qualities they are to possess and display to a watching world. So far we’ve come to see that a blessed Christian is someone who is: “Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” • We know we have ...read more
