Good mo God
Blessed Are the Gentle — Matthew 5:5
The Sermon on the Mount is one of the greatest teachings of our Lord and King, Jesus Christ. In it, Jesus reveals the principles and values of the Kingdom of Heaven. Matthew’s Gospel especially emphasizes the Kingdom of Heaven and shows how Jesus fulfills the prophetic promises concerning the coming Messiah. Jesus came at God’s appointed time in history, according to His perfect plan and purpose.
As we meditate on the Beatitudes, we have already considered, “Blessed are the poor in spirit,” “Blessed are those who mourn,” and “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness.” Now we come to another beautiful kingdom principle:
“Blessed are the gentle, for they shall inherit the earth.” — Matthew 5:5
In other words, those who are humble, gentle, and surrendered to God are truly blessed. Humility begins when we recognize who God is and acknowledge our complete dependence upon His grace. A humble heart clings to God, submits to His will, and surrenders everything to Christ.
Jesus Himself is our greatest example. Though He existed in the form of God, He humbled Himself, taking the form of a servant and becoming obedient to death—even death on a cross. Therefore, God highly exalted Him and gave Him the name above every name (Philippians 2:6–9).
The Apostle Peter also teaches, “Humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at the proper time” (1 Peter 5:6).
Jesus, the King of kings and Lord of lords, humbled Himself for us, bore our sins, and gave His life for our salvation. Therefore, let us follow His example. Let us walk in humility, love God, love people, and allow Jesus Christ to be glorified through our lives.
