The chapter delves into the Christian perspective on the meek inheriting the earth, based on Psalm 37, exploring the concepts of meekness, humility, and divine victory. It contrasts the world's view of power and influence with the biblical teaching that true strength comes from embracing weakness and humility, illustrated by Jesus' sacrifice on the cross. The hosts emphasize that being meek does not imply seeking control in the present world but rather a promise of future glory in Jesus's kingdom.
“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.
