161 | Blessed Are The Meek

In the Packed Podcast, we explore the concepts of meekness and gentleness as taught by Jesus, particularly in the context of the Sermon on the Mount. We discuss how these qualities are often misunderstood in our culture, where being assertive and self-promoting is valued. We define meekness as a form of restrained power and confidence, emphasizing that it is not weakness but rather a deliberate choice to hold back in situations where one might normally assert themselves. We reflect on how Jesus exemplified meekness and how, as believers, we are called to inherit the earth through our faith and trust in God, which empowers us to live meekly. Ultimately, we recognize that true contentment comes from understanding our identity in Christ and the future inheritance awaiting us.
