Meek is not weak. The meek inherit the earth. In the third beatitude Jesus describes a Christian as someone who has nothing to lose and nothing to defend and everything to gain in Him. The meek do not fear others because they have nothing to defend. The meek do not fear that they have done enough to bring God's pleasure because they know they have nothing to give. The meek have a deep strength that is only possible under grace. They know who they could have been without grace and paradoxically know who they are because of God's grace. The meek will inherit the earth.
