Power That’s Under Control! (Meekness)Matthew 5:1-5 Seldom in the world has few words been spoken with so much meaning!The Beatitudes of our Lord are powerful, holding before the world.This message teaches us how to behave day to day.When we do not live like Christians we create confusion in the minds of others that watch our lives.Our world worships power, and notoriety. Bookstores are filled with quick guides to success. Our society tends to reject any evidence of weakness- from a losing sports team to an elderly in poor health. n fact, many in our society consider Christians as weak people who need a crutch. However, God blesses meekness in the lives of His people. Meekness is not weakness; it is power under control.The Greek word for meekness was often used to describe a farmer breaking in a colt. The horse was power under control.The meek man focuses his attention on Christ.Meekness is cultivated through difficult experiences. Difficulties in life will either cultivate meekness or rebellion.Meekness seeks nothing for self and receives all things from God.The greatest example of meekness the world has ever known is Jesus!
