The English Puritan Thomas Watson defined meekness as "a grace whereby we are enabled by the Holy Spirit to moderate our passions."
1) Meekness is a balance between two extremes: Anger and passive indifference. 2 situations in which Christ showed a righteous anger - When Children were prevented from coming to him. - When the temple became a den of thieves.
2) My definition is, "Meekness is the grace that enables someone to lay aside their rights and privileges for someone else's benefit and to the glory of God.
3) Why are meek people blessed? They shall inherit the earth.
1 - meekness is evidence of grace. 2 - meekness is freedom from the world. 3 - Meekness is beautiful in God's sight.
4) How do we grow in meekness? 1 - Seek the Lord 2 - Study, memorize and meditate on the Word 3 - Pray asking for meekness
