Exploring the concept of meekness and humility as emphasized in the Beatitudes and the teachings of Jesus, this chapter delves into the significance of setting aside power for the benefit of others. The speakers discuss how meekness contrasts with societal norms of power and pride, highlighting the countercultural nature of Jesus' message on humility. Emphasizing Christ's example of humility and service, the chapter reflects on the challenges and importance of embodying meekness in a world that often values boldness and assertiveness.
“Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the Earth” - Matthew 5:5. Who are the meek? And what does it mean that they will “inherit” the Earth? Does this mean that it’s wrong for Christians to seek prominence? In this episode, Michael Horton, Bob Hiller, Walter Strickland, and Justin Holcomb discuss the many tensions of the Christian life on display in Christ’s statement. Together, we’ll consider what it means to avoid both an under and an over-realized eschatology—what it means to live faithfully in the already-and-not-yet.
