  • 00:01:24.077 --> 00:01:26.079
  • Matthew 5:5 says, "blessed are the meek
  • 00:01:26.146 --> 00:01:27.614
  • "blessed are the meek for they shall
  • 00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:28.348

  • In our generation? in our hardball society,
  • 00:01:37.957 --> 00:01:40.059
  • In our hardball society, meekness is not an asset,
  • 00:01:40.126 --> 00:01:42.295
  • Meekness is not an asset, it's a liability.
  • 00:01:42.362 --> 00:01:44.364
  • It's a liability. "haven't you heard, pastor?

  • Good guys finish last." the only way to inherit

  • The earth is to be as mean as a junkyard dog,
  • 00:01:50.970 --> 00:01:52.572
  • As a junkyard dog, get aggressive, hard fisted,
  • 00:01:52.639 --> 00:01:54.574

  • Speaking to the jewish people who have gathered on the slopes
  • 00:01:59.946 --> 00:02:01.714
  • Who have gathered on the slopes by the sea of galilee.

  • Of four different groups. call them political
  • 00:02:29.842 --> 00:02:30.743

  • The people were excited. maybe this nazarene
  • 00:03:31.070 --> 00:03:32.772
  • Maybe this nazarene had the ingredients that
  • 00:03:32.839 --> 00:03:34.307
  • Had the ingredients that could overthrow the romans
  • 00:03:34.374 --> 00:03:36.242

  • With meekness, jesus. might is right, not meekness."
  • 00:04:03.670 --> 00:04:06.572
  • Might is right, not meekness." three-and-a-half years later
  • 00:04:06.639 --> 00:04:08.374
  • Three-and-a-half years later when they saw jesus on trial
  • 00:04:08.441 --> 00:04:10.777
  • When they saw jesus on trial beaten and battered,
  • 00:04:10.843 --> 00:04:12.578
  • Beaten and battered, his blood-caked body
  • 00:04:12.645 --> 00:04:13.813
  • His blood-caked body crowned with thorns,
  • 00:04:13.880 --> 00:04:15.281

  • They screamed, "crucify him. he's not a messiah.
  • 00:04:18.951 --> 00:04:20.253
  • He's not a messiah. he can't even deliver himself.
  • 00:04:20.320 --> 00:04:22.889
  • He can't even deliver himself. blessed are the meek.
  • 00:04:22.955 --> 00:04:24.057
  • Blessed are the meek. what nonsense is that.
  • 00:04:24.123 --> 00:04:25.825
  • What nonsense is that. what is god's
  • 00:04:25.892 --> 00:04:26.726
  • What is god's position on meekness?"
  • 00:04:26.793 --> 00:04:29.228
  • Position on meekness?" the greatest question
  • 00:04:29.295 --> 00:04:30.363
  • The greatest question is how much are you
  • 00:04:30.430 --> 00:04:31.564
  • Is how much are you like jesus christ when
  • 00:04:31.631 --> 00:04:33.433
  • Like jesus christ when it comes to meekness?
  • 00:04:33.499 --> 00:04:35.735
  • It comes to meekness? how much are you like
  • 00:04:35.802 --> 00:04:37.570
  • How much are you like jesus christ when it comes
  • 00:04:37.637 --> 00:04:39.372
  • Jesus christ when it comes to meekness?
  • 00:04:39.439 --> 00:04:40.940
  • To meekness? what is meekness?
  • 00:04:41.007 --> 00:04:42.075
  • What is meekness? the meek are those who quietly
  • 00:04:42.141 --> 00:04:43.910
  • The meek are those who quietly submit themselves
  • 00:04:43.976 --> 00:04:45.712
  • Submit themselves to the will of god,
  • 00:04:45.778 --> 00:04:47.146
  • To the will of god, to his word, to the rod
  • 00:04:47.213 --> 00:04:49.182
  • To his word, to the rod of his correction,
  • 00:04:49.248 --> 00:04:50.383
  • Of his correction, which would be the bible,
  • 00:04:50.450 --> 00:04:51.551
  • Which would be the bible, who follow his direction
  • 00:04:51.617 --> 00:04:53.119
  • Who follow his direction and completely, with his
  • 00:04:53.186 --> 00:04:54.687
  • And completely, with his designs, are gentle toward men.
  • 00:04:54.754 --> 00:04:58.624
  • Designs, are gentle toward men. the meek have warm hearts,
  • 00:04:58.691 --> 00:05:01.260
  • The meek have warm hearts, not hot heads.
  • 00:05:01.327 --> 00:05:02.862
  • Not hot heads. meekness is the opposite
  • 00:05:02.929 --> 00:05:04.530
  • Meekness is the opposite of violence.
  • 00:05:04.597 --> 00:05:05.498
  • Of violence. americans have rejected meekness
  • 00:05:05.565 --> 00:05:07.500
  • Americans have rejected meekness as the path to happiness,
  • 00:05:07.567 --> 00:05:08.901
  • As the path to happiness, and have inherited
  • 00:05:08.968 --> 00:05:10.169
  • And have inherited a whirlwind of violence.
  • 00:05:10.236 --> 00:05:12.105
  • A whirlwind of violence. when you reject truth,
  • 00:05:12.171 --> 00:05:13.573
  • When you reject truth, you are doomed
  • 00:05:13.639 --> 00:05:14.507
  • You are doomed to believe a lie,
  • 00:05:14.574 --> 00:05:16.309
  • To believe a lie, and you will be controlled
  • 00:05:16.376 --> 00:05:17.477
  • And you will be controlled by that lie.
  • 00:05:17.543 --> 00:05:18.578
  • By that lie. the fact is,
  • 00:05:18.644 --> 00:05:19.512
  • The fact is, you become what you behold.

  • 00:21:21.006 --> 00:21:21.473
  • That's what the word of god says.
  • 00:21:21.540 --> 00:21:24.943
  • Of god says. and you're gonna answer to god
  • 00:21:25.010 --> 00:21:27.212
  • And you're gonna answer to god for every word you ever speak,
  • 00:21:27.279 --> 00:21:30.916
  • For every word you ever speak, so says this text.
  • 00:21:30.982 --> 00:21:33.318
  • So says this text. meekness is a byproduct
  • 00:21:33.385 --> 00:21:34.786
  • Meekness is a byproduct of the holy spirit.
  • 00:21:34.853 --> 00:21:35.887
  • Of the holy spirit. if you're not meek,
  • 00:21:35.954 --> 00:21:36.855
  • If you're not meek, you're not spirit-filled.
  • 00:21:36.922 --> 00:21:42.060
  • You're not spirit-filled. men think meekness is worthless,
  • 00:21:42.127 --> 00:21:45.530
  • Men think meekness is worthless, god thinks meekness
  • 00:21:45.597 --> 00:21:46.865
  • God thinks meekness is priceless.
  • 00:21:46.932 --> 00:21:48.500
  • Is priceless. in closing, only the meek
  • 00:21:48.567 --> 00:21:50.035
  • In closing, only the meek can experience salvation.
  • 00:21:50.102 --> 00:21:51.903
  • Can experience salvation. psalms 149:4,
  • 00:21:51.970 --> 00:21:53.505
  • Psalms 149:4, "he will beautify
  • 00:21:53.572 --> 00:21:54.706
  • "he will beautify the meek with salvation."
  • 00:21:54.773 --> 00:21:57.642
  • The meek with salvation." listen to that again.
  • 00:21:57.709 --> 00:21:58.810
  • Listen to that again. he will beautify
  • 00:21:58.877 --> 00:22:00.045
  • He will beautify the meek with salvation.
  • 00:22:00.112 --> 00:22:02.114
  • The meek with salvation. if you come to god strutting
  • 00:22:02.180 --> 00:22:03.782
  • If you come to god strutting like a peacock,
  • 00:22:03.849 --> 00:22:05.851
  • Like a peacock, you will die in your sins.
  • 00:22:05.917 --> 00:22:08.153
  • You will die in your sins. you cannot come
  • 00:22:08.220 --> 00:22:09.388
  • You cannot come in your rebellion.
  • 00:22:09.454 --> 00:22:10.489
  • In your rebellion. you cannot come in religiosity.
  • 00:22:10.555 --> 00:22:13.191
  • You cannot come in religiosity. you cannot come unless
  • 00:22:13.258 --> 00:22:15.660
  • You cannot come unless you come meekly.
  • 00:22:15.727 --> 00:22:16.928
  • You come meekly. consider the prodigal son
  • 00:22:16.995 --> 00:22:18.730
  • Consider the prodigal son when he came to his father.
  • 00:22:18.797 --> 00:22:20.265
  • When he came to his father. "father, i have sinned
  • 00:22:20.332 --> 00:22:22.000
  • "father, i have sinned and i am no longer worthy
  • 00:22:22.067 --> 00:22:24.369
  • And i am no longer worthy to be called your son."
  • 00:22:24.436 --> 00:22:26.538
  • To be called your son." the publican said,
  • 00:22:26.605 --> 00:22:27.672
  • The publican said, "lord, be merciful to me,
  • 00:22:27.739 --> 00:22:29.274
  • "lord, be merciful to me, a sinner."
  • 00:22:29.341 --> 00:22:30.442
  • A sinner." that's what god
  • 00:22:30.509 --> 00:22:31.109
  • That's what god is looking for.
  • 00:22:31.176 --> 00:22:32.677
  • Is looking for. do you want to be happy
  • 00:22:32.744 --> 00:22:34.012
  • Do you want to be happy in an unhappy world?
  • 00:22:34.079 --> 00:22:35.447
  • In an unhappy world? the first steps in total
  • 00:22:35.514 --> 00:22:36.748
  • The first steps in total submission to jesus christ,
  • 00:22:36.815 --> 00:22:38.350
  • Submission to jesus christ, the prince of peace,
  • 00:22:38.417 --> 00:22:40.051
  • The prince of peace, is the answer.
  • 00:22:40.118 --> 00:22:41.620
  • Is the answer. blessed are the meek for
  • 00:22:41.686 --> 00:22:44.089
  • Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth.
  • 00:22:44.156 --> 00:22:47.259
  • They shall inherit the earth. not the rich and the powerful,
  • 00:22:47.325 --> 00:22:49.161
  • Not the rich and the powerful, not politicians and
  • 00:22:49.227 --> 00:22:50.495
  • Not politicians and their conniving ways,
  • 00:22:50.562 --> 00:22:51.997
  • Their conniving ways, but the people who are
  • 00:22:52.063 --> 00:22:53.632
  • But the people who are following the lamb of god
  • 00:22:53.698 --> 00:22:55.767
  • Following the lamb of god are going to rule the world.
  • 00:22:55.834 --> 00:22:58.136
  • Are going to rule the world. hallelujah for the blood
  • 00:22:58.203 --> 00:22:59.571
  • Hallelujah for the blood of christ.
  • 00:22:59.638 --> 00:23:00.238
