Heaven Calls Them Blessed Blessed are Meek (They shall inherit the Earth Part 1)
Description
Matthew 5:5
Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
THE MEEK WILL INHERIT THE CURRENT EARTH IN THAT GOD WILL MAKE THEM TO PROSPER WITH PEACE OF MIND. IT IS ONLY THE MEEK PILGRIMS WHO CAN TRULY HAVE PERMANENT, NOT TRANSITORY HAPPINESS, WHILE AWAITING THE EARTH MADE NEW. ONLY CHRIST THE PRINCE OF PEACE CAN GIVE THE MEEK PEACE IN A WORLD OF FEAR AND TURMOIL.
Isaiah 9:6
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Luke 2:10-14
And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. 11For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. 12And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. 13And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, 14Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
John 14:27
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
Isaiah 57:19-21
I create the fruit of the lips; Peace, peace to him that is far off, and to him that is near, saith the LORD; and I will heal him. 20But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt. 21There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.
Happiness drawn from earthly sources is as changeable as varying circumstances can make it; but the peace of Christ is a constant and abiding peace. It does not depend upon any circumstances in life, on the amount of worldly goods or the number of earthly friends. Christ is the fountain of living water, and happiness drawn from Him can never fail. – {Thoughts from Mount of Blessings p.16.2}
The meekness of Christ, manifested in the home, will make the inmates happy; it provokes no quarrel, gives back no angry answer, but soothes the irritated temper and diffuses a gentleness that is felt by all within its charmed circle. Wherever cherished, it makes the families of earth a part of the one great family above. – {Thoughts from Mount of Blessings p. 16.3}
Psalm 119:165
Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.
Psalm 37:9-11
For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth. 10For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be. 11But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
THE MEEK SHALL INHERIT THE EARTH WITHOUT FORGETTING THE EARTH MADE NEW THAT IS TO COME.
Hebrews 11:9-10
By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise: 10For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
Hebrews 11:13
These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
Hebrews 13:14 ASV
“For we have not here an abiding city, but we seek after the city which is to come.”
