The Meek shall Inherit the Earth (Matt. 5:5)
“The meek shall inherit the earth.” This is a teaching off non-resistance. Warlords and plunderers of human possessions have come and gone. Kingdoms have risen only to crumble in dust and become numbered with past events. Passion and lust for power have strewn the earth with destruction. It would seem as though the meek had lost out in the titanic struggle for temporal supremacy.
In the mist of this drama off human existence, Jesus declared that the meek shall inherit the earth, Let us inquire if his teaching is a true one. Do we teach our children to follow the steps of Caesar and a Napoleon? Or do we tell them the story of Jesus or Buddha? The cross is mightier than the crown and we teach our children that LOVE MASTERS EVERYTHING!!! The meek shall inherit the earth. To whom have our artists turned to for inspiration and that quickening power which enables them to depict the ideal? But to the war lords, nor even the captains of industry, but to the meek.
What characteristics are set before us as being worthy? Have not faith and belief in the divine Goodness been in the theme of our greatest singers? Who could write a beautiful story about hell? But heaven and love have inspired thousands to the uplifting of humanity. Jesus was right when he said that the meek shall inherit the earth. They have done so, and will continue to do so!
