The Beatitudes
“Blessed are the poor in Spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 5:3)
“Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.” (Matthew 5:4)
We come to the third Beatitude, 5 Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. (Matthew 5:5)
“Happy are the meek? Really? Once again, Jesus’ teaching runs counter to almost everything we believe and practice in daily life. We say, “you have to fight for your rights.” Jesus answers, “The meek shall inherit the earth.” History seems built on the theme of the survival of the fittest and the meek don’t fulfil that description. We think happiness is to be found in the display of power, right?
Come friends, join us as we reflect on “Happy are the meek” this Sunday.
