The Beatitudes: “Meek”
Matt, Derek, and Alastair consider meekness.
Meekness is not often understood. And when it’s understood, it’s not often commended. And when it’s commended, it’s not often lived out. And yet we are told that the meek will inherit the earth. How should we understand this virtue Biblically? And how should we practice it in our own cultural moment?
