  • 00:01:24.078 --> 00:01:26.080
  • Matthew 5:5 says, "blessed are the meek
  • 00:01:26.147 --> 00:01:27.615
  • "blessed are the meek for they shall
  • 00:01:27.681 --> 00:01:28.349

  • Doesn't that sound absurd in our generation?
  • 00:01:36.257 --> 00:01:37.892
  • In our generation? in our hardball society,
  • 00:01:37.958 --> 00:01:40.060
  • In our hardball society, meekness is not an asset,
  • 00:01:40.127 --> 00:01:42.296
  • Meekness is not an asset, it's a liability.
  • 00:01:42.363 --> 00:01:44.365
  • It's a liability. "haven't you heard, pastor?

  • The earth is to be as mean as a junkyard dog,
  • 00:01:50.971 --> 00:01:52.573
  • As a junkyard dog, get aggressive, hard fisted,
  • 00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:54.575

  • Speaking to the jewish people who have gathered on the slopes
  • 00:01:59.947 --> 00:02:01.715
  • Who have gathered on the slopes by the sea of galilee.

  • 00:02:12.393 --> 00:02:14.161
  • In political oppression. since 63 bc,

  • Of four different groups. call them political
  • 00:02:29.843 --> 00:02:30.744

  • Then came jesus of nazareth. the people were excited.
  • 00:03:29.436 --> 00:03:31.005
  • The people were excited. maybe this nazarene
  • 00:03:31.071 --> 00:03:32.773
  • Maybe this nazarene had the ingredients that
  • 00:03:32.840 --> 00:03:34.308
  • Had the ingredients that could overthrow the romans
  • 00:03:34.375 --> 00:03:36.243

  • Great anticipation. they're hanging on every word.
  • 00:03:42.082 --> 00:03:44.318
  • They're hanging on every word. and then jesus stood and spoke

  • With meekness, jesus. might is right, not meekness."
  • 00:04:03.671 --> 00:04:06.573
  • Might is right, not meekness." three-and-a-half years later
  • 00:04:06.640 --> 00:04:08.375
  • Three-and-a-half years later when they saw jesus on trial
  • 00:04:08.442 --> 00:04:10.778
  • When they saw jesus on trial beaten and battered,
  • 00:04:10.844 --> 00:04:12.579
  • Beaten and battered, his blood-caked body
  • 00:04:12.646 --> 00:04:13.814
  • His blood-caked body crowned with thorns,
  • 00:04:13.881 --> 00:04:15.282
  • Crowned with thorns, in their frustration,
  • 00:04:15.349 --> 00:04:16.784

  • They screamed, "crucify him. he's not a messiah.
  • 00:04:18.952 --> 00:04:20.254
  • He's not a messiah. he can't even deliver himself.
  • 00:04:20.321 --> 00:04:22.890
  • He can't even deliver himself. blessed are the meek.
  • 00:04:22.956 --> 00:04:24.058
  • Blessed are the meek. what nonsense is that.
  • 00:04:24.124 --> 00:04:25.826
  • What nonsense is that. what is god's
  • 00:04:25.893 --> 00:04:26.727
  • What is god's position on meekness?"
  • 00:04:26.794 --> 00:04:29.229
  • Position on meekness?" the greatest question
  • 00:04:29.296 --> 00:04:30.364
  • The greatest question is how much are you
  • 00:04:30.431 --> 00:04:31.565
  • Is how much are you like jesus christ when
  • 00:04:31.632 --> 00:04:33.434
  • Like jesus christ when it comes to meekness?
  • 00:04:33.500 --> 00:04:35.736
  • It comes to meekness? how much are you like
  • 00:04:35.803 --> 00:04:37.571
  • How much are you like jesus christ when it comes
  • 00:04:37.638 --> 00:04:39.373
  • Jesus christ when it comes to meekness?
  • 00:04:39.440 --> 00:04:40.941
  • To meekness? what is meekness?
  • 00:04:41.008 --> 00:04:42.076
  • What is meekness? the meek are those who quietly
  • 00:04:42.142 --> 00:04:43.911
  • The meek are those who quietly submit themselves
  • 00:04:43.977 --> 00:04:45.713
  • Submit themselves to the will of god,
  • 00:04:45.779 --> 00:04:47.147
  • To the will of god, to his word, to the rod
  • 00:04:47.214 --> 00:04:49.183
  • To his word, to the rod of his correction,
  • 00:04:49.249 --> 00:04:50.384
  • Of his correction, which would be the bible,
  • 00:04:50.451 --> 00:04:51.552
  • Which would be the bible, who follow his direction
  • 00:04:51.618 --> 00:04:53.120
  • Who follow his direction and completely, with his
  • 00:04:53.187 --> 00:04:54.688
  • And completely, with his designs, are gentle toward men.
  • 00:04:54.755 --> 00:04:58.625
  • Designs, are gentle toward men. the meek have warm hearts,
  • 00:04:58.692 --> 00:05:01.261
  • The meek have warm hearts, not hot heads.
  • 00:05:01.328 --> 00:05:02.863
  • Not hot heads. meekness is the opposite
  • 00:05:02.930 --> 00:05:04.531
  • Meekness is the opposite of violence.
  • 00:05:04.598 --> 00:05:05.499
  • Of violence. americans have rejected meekness
  • 00:05:05.566 --> 00:05:07.501
  • Americans have rejected meekness as the path to happiness,
  • 00:05:07.568 --> 00:05:08.902
  • As the path to happiness, and have inherited
  • 00:05:08.969 --> 00:05:10.170
  • And have inherited a whirlwind of violence.
  • 00:05:10.237 --> 00:05:12.106
  • A whirlwind of violence. when you reject truth,
  • 00:05:12.172 --> 00:05:13.574
  • When you reject truth, you are doomed
  • 00:05:13.640 --> 00:05:14.508
  • You are doomed to believe a lie,
  • 00:05:14.575 --> 00:05:16.310
  • To believe a lie, and you will be controlled
  • 00:05:16.377 --> 00:05:17.478
  • And you will be controlled by that lie.
  • 00:05:17.544 --> 00:05:18.579
  • By that lie. the fact is,
  • 00:05:18.645 --> 00:05:19.513
  • The fact is, you become what you behold.

  • 00:21:19.238 --> 00:21:20.940
  • To hurt your feelings. that's what the word
  • 00:21:21.007 --> 00:21:21.474
  • That's what the word of god says.
  • 00:21:21.541 --> 00:21:24.944
  • Of god says. and you're gonna answer to god
  • 00:21:25.011 --> 00:21:27.213
  • And you're gonna answer to god for every word you ever speak,
  • 00:21:27.280 --> 00:21:30.917
  • For every word you ever speak, so says this text.
  • 00:21:30.983 --> 00:21:33.319
  • So says this text. meekness is a byproduct
  • 00:21:33.386 --> 00:21:34.787
  • Meekness is a byproduct of the holy spirit.
  • 00:21:34.854 --> 00:21:35.888
  • Of the holy spirit. if you're not meek,
  • 00:21:35.955 --> 00:21:36.856
  • If you're not meek, you're not spirit-filled.
  • 00:21:36.923 --> 00:21:42.061
  • You're not spirit-filled. men think meekness is worthless,
  • 00:21:42.128 --> 00:21:45.531
  • Men think meekness is worthless, god thinks meekness
  • 00:21:45.598 --> 00:21:46.866
  • God thinks meekness is priceless.
  • 00:21:46.933 --> 00:21:48.501
  • Is priceless. in closing, only the meek
  • 00:21:48.568 --> 00:21:50.036
  • In closing, only the meek can experience salvation.
  • 00:21:50.103 --> 00:21:51.904
  • Can experience salvation. psalms 149:4,
  • 00:21:51.971 --> 00:21:53.506
  • Psalms 149:4, "he will beautify
  • 00:21:53.573 --> 00:21:54.707
  • "he will beautify the meek with salvation."
  • 00:21:54.774 --> 00:21:57.643
  • The meek with salvation." listen to that again.
  • 00:21:57.710 --> 00:21:58.811
  • Listen to that again. he will beautify
  • 00:21:58.878 --> 00:22:00.046
  • He will beautify the meek with salvation.
  • 00:22:00.113 --> 00:22:02.115
  • The meek with salvation. if you come to god strutting
  • 00:22:02.181 --> 00:22:03.783
  • If you come to god strutting like a peacock,
  • 00:22:03.850 --> 00:22:05.852
  • Like a peacock, you will die in your sins.
  • 00:22:05.918 --> 00:22:08.154
  • You will die in your sins. you cannot come
  • 00:22:08.221 --> 00:22:09.389
  • You cannot come in your rebellion.
  • 00:22:09.455 --> 00:22:10.490
  • In your rebellion. you cannot come in religiosity.
  • 00:22:10.556 --> 00:22:13.192
  • You cannot come in religiosity. you cannot come unless
  • 00:22:13.259 --> 00:22:15.661
  • You cannot come unless you come meekly.
  • 00:22:15.728 --> 00:22:16.929
  • You come meekly. consider the prodigal son
  • 00:22:16.996 --> 00:22:18.731
  • Consider the prodigal son when he came to his father.
  • 00:22:18.798 --> 00:22:20.266
  • When he came to his father. "father, i have sinned
  • 00:22:20.333 --> 00:22:22.001
  • "father, i have sinned and i am no longer worthy
  • 00:22:22.068 --> 00:22:24.370
  • And i am no longer worthy to be called your son."
  • 00:22:24.437 --> 00:22:26.539
  • To be called your son." the publican said,
  • 00:22:26.606 --> 00:22:27.673
  • The publican said, "lord, be merciful to me,
  • 00:22:27.740 --> 00:22:29.275
  • "lord, be merciful to me, a sinner."
  • 00:22:29.342 --> 00:22:30.443
  • A sinner." that's what god
  • 00:22:30.510 --> 00:22:31.110
  • That's what god is looking for.
  • 00:22:31.177 --> 00:22:32.678
  • Is looking for. do you want to be happy
  • 00:22:32.745 --> 00:22:34.013
  • Do you want to be happy in an unhappy world?
  • 00:22:34.080 --> 00:22:35.448
  • In an unhappy world? the first steps in total
  • 00:22:35.515 --> 00:22:36.749
  • The first steps in total submission to jesus christ,
  • 00:22:36.816 --> 00:22:38.351
  • Submission to jesus christ, the prince of peace,
  • 00:22:38.418 --> 00:22:40.052
  • The prince of peace, is the answer.
  • 00:22:40.119 --> 00:22:41.621
  • Is the answer. blessed are the meek for
  • 00:22:41.687 --> 00:22:44.090
  • Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth.
  • 00:22:44.157 --> 00:22:47.260
  • They shall inherit the earth. not the rich and the powerful,
  • 00:22:47.326 --> 00:22:49.162
  • Not the rich and the powerful, not politicians and
  • 00:22:49.228 --> 00:22:50.496
  • Not politicians and their conniving ways,
  • 00:22:50.563 --> 00:22:51.998
  • Their conniving ways, but the people who are
  • 00:22:52.064 --> 00:22:53.633
  • But the people who are following the lamb of god
  • 00:22:53.699 --> 00:22:55.768
  • Following the lamb of god are going to rule the world.
  • 00:22:55.835 --> 00:22:58.137
  • Are going to rule the world. hallelujah for the blood
  • 00:22:58.204 --> 00:22:59.572
