Gentleness

Galatians

I vividly recall sitting at the table with a friend who told me he couldn’t see the reality in what Jesus said about meekness/gentleness, “The meek [or gentle] shall inherit the earth” in Matthew 5:5. He reasoned that it just doesn’t happen that way. It’s only the strong that survive. They harness their power to get what they want by brute force and manipulation. But King David, the warrior king, wrote in Psalm 37:7-11, “Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for Him; do not fret when men succeed in their ways, when they carry out their schemes. Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret – it leads only to evil. For evil men will be cut off. But those who hope in the Lord will inherit the land. A little while, and the wicked will be no more; though you look for them, they will not be found. But the meek will inherit the land and enjoy great peace.”

Message: “Our Lives in Christ” from John Ploog

A message from the series “Colossians.” What’s your starting point when it comes to Christ-honoring dynamics in the home and family unit? Do you start with written agreements, rules, or do you just go with the flow? It’s likely that our initial instruction in family life started with our families of origin…for better or for worse. How does your relationship with Christ affect your relationships within family? Our previous messages from Colossians 3:1-17 called for Colossians those who have “taken off our old self with its practices and have taken on the new self, renewed in the knowledge of our Creator…to live in perfect unity”(vs.9, 10, 14). It really comes down to this: Christ-followers find joy and peace in Spirit-filled submission.“Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ” (Ephesians 5:21)
