There is more complexity to the word itself, however not always that easy to say. I see that you said that Jesus taught against it. "Why?" "How?" I would like to hear your reasonings. If Jesus spoke against it, why then would he mention it at that moment and then virtually contradict what he said by speaking against it. I have learned that the Beautitudes are a process. It is a more unique type of humbleness. I am a person who is rather quiet. I would also consider myself a gentleman (as others have said to me). Do you think that that is weakness or meekness? I can tell you that Christ was meek. He, although sometimes quiet (in prayer), was strong and with authority he stood up for what he believed in (just look at him entering his father's house: seeing all of the commercial activities.) I encourage you to argue your reasoning, but please do not be rude in rejecting my opinions and own personal reasoning. Thanks, May God bless you.

This whole concept of meekness is fascinating. I've always been drawn to Numbers 12:3 which some versions translate as meek. Thanks for unpacking the verse. Get any good responses to the questions in the weeks following? Doug I love your sermon, Nathan. This whole concept of meekness is fascinating.
