Salt and Light: The Blessing of Humility

This weekend I will be preaching a message titled “THE BLESSING OF HUMILITY.” As we continue looking at the Beatitudes, we come across the first third - 5 "Blessed are the meek, For they shall inherit the earth." I believe that this is probably the most difficult beatitude that Jesus gave because it deals with the one subject that all of us struggle with – humility. As someone said, “Just when you think you are humble, you’ve lost it.” God gives His grace to the humble. First we will ask – what does it mean to be meek? Then we will ask – what does it mean to “inherit the earth?” Finally we will see how this blessing applies in the Christian life. When we begin to live by the spirit of humility, we truly live by grace. It is freeing. It brings glory to the name of Christ. It transforms the world around us. Imagine if everyone had the spirit of humility.
