OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 6 JANUARY 2022 MESSAGE

The meek is one who has the ability to fight back when denied his/her right, yet chooses not to. For instance, Jesus was meek to the point of death. He endured the lashes, insults, and crucifixion when angels could have come to His rescue at the snap of His fingers.

Being meek is not stupidity; it is a level of Christ-like humility, When you can beat up the bully in your school, yet choose not to, you are meek. No wonder Jesus said the meek would inherit the earth.

However, it is unfortunate that some people believe that Jesus meant that they would remain on this earth and rule it after His second coming.

There will be a new heaven and earth (Revelation 21:1) after the second death because this earth will pass away.

What Jesus meant by the meek inheriting the earth is that they would live a good and peaceful life (Psalm 37:11) because they have control over their strength and emotions (Proverbs 16:32).

 

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 6 JANUARY 2022 KEY POINT

The meek is blessed and stronger than any leader who wields his/her power at the slightest provocation.

4. Deeper, higher, evry day in Jesus,
Till all conflict past,
Finds me conquror, and in His own image
Perfected at last.
