What does Jesus think about world conquest?

Matthew 5:5 “Happy are those who are meek for they will

inherit the earth.”

What is meekness?

Meekness is a humble and gentle attitude toward others caused by a true estimate of ourselves, which comes from

Beatitude # 1 and #2.

Here’s a meekness test-

How well do you handle it when others say bad

things about you?

Psalm 37:11 “But the meek shall inherit the earth and shall delight

themselves in the abundance of peace.”

Ephesians 4:1-2 “I, therefore, the prisoner of

the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling

with which you were called,

with all lowliness and gentleness, with

longsuffering, bearing with one another in love.”

Jesus is our ultimate example.

Philippians 2:5-11 “Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the

form of God, did not consider

it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And

being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became

obedient to the point of death, even the death of the

cross. Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and

given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every

knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the

Father.”

John 12:32“If I be lifted up from the earth, I will draw

everyone to Me.”

“Meekness is compatible with great power.”

D. Martyn-Lloyd Jones,

Full control allows full power

This meekness has great results in our lives:

1) It takes away the fear of what other people think

about you!

2) It brings great glory to Jesus.

3) It places our life and our church in a position to

conquer this earth!

4) It brings great joy.
