The Beatitudes Lesson 3

The meek and those who hunger and thirst for righteousness (5:5-6): The Blessed Attitudes Needed to Enter and Live in Christ’s Kingdom (pt.2)

Q. What else has Jesus taught you the kind of attitude to have in order to enter and live in his kingdom?

A. An attitude that is humble and not proud and that desires Jesus above everything else.

Matthew 5:5–6 ESV

5 “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. 6 “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.

Define Meek

The world will tell you to have the things of the world you need to be the opposite of meek

Like Caesar

He was relentless in his conquests for the benefit of himself and the citizens of his kingdom

But Christ as our king advocates a different way for us to inherit the earth
