Blessed Are The Meek:  For They Shall Inherit The Earth.

Matthew 5:5

The 3rd Beatitude

Notes from our church’s Winter Bible study on the Beatitudes

Sermon by Pastor Luther Patches

 ~~~

THE BEATITUDES ARE FOR LIVING – NOW.

A Meek Person IS NOT:  spineless or easily imposed upon.

A Meek Person IS:  a person who has every passon under control of the Holy Spirit.

Many great men have been undone by lack of control.

Your attitude toward God and sin is a test of your meekness.

INHERIT THE EARTH

…those that wait upon the LORD shall inherit the earth.  (Psa 37:9 KJV) 

Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.  (Mat 5:5 KJV)

According to this beatitude
