INTRODUCTION
The beatitudes describe the ideal disciple and his rewards, both present and future. Having discovered that the beatitudes are a series of eight blessings spoken by Jesus in Matthew 5, we shall do some exposition on verses 5 and 6 in this study.
LESSON OUTLINES
1. BLESSED ARE THE MEEK.
2. BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO HUNGER AND THIRST.
BLESSED ARE THE MEEK.
Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth’ (Matthew 5:5). The word ‘meek’ from the the original Greek language ‘praus’ refers to meekness, gentleness of spirit or humility. It was used to describe reining in a stallion. It is the idea of a horse being controlled by a bit and bridle. The horse is choosing to submit to authority. This is meekness. It is power under constraints.
“Meekness” is a humble attitude that expresses itself in the patents endurance of offences. Meekness is humility toward God and toward others. In other words, it is having the right or the power to do something for refraining for the benefits of someone else (Ephesians 4:1-2). It is power under control. Meekness is not weakness. A weak person cannot do anything but a meek person can do something but chooses not to (Proverbs 16:32; 25:28).
Being too hasty in word and deed are possibly two of the most frequent witnesses in people. A meek person would consider his actions before he acts hastily (James 1:19, 21; 3:13). The cultivation of the spirit is enjoined (colossians 3:12; 1Timothy 6:11; Zeph 2:3), and it is exemplified in Christ (Matthew 11:29), Abraham (Genesis 13:8-12; 16:5-6), Moses (numbers 12:3), David (Zechariah 12: 8; 2Samuel 16:10, 12), and paul (1Corinthians 9:19).
Peculiar promises are made to the make (Matthew 5:5; Isaiah 66:2). The humble would receive far greater than the arrogance and proud. Not only do they meek enjoy more of life on Earth because of their ability ability to be content, but they will possess and enjoy the earth after Jesus’ return and triumphant entry. The meek are blessed.
BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO HUNGER AND THIRST.
‘Blessed are they who hunger and thirst after righteousness for they shall be filled’ (Matthew 5:6). An ardent desire for anything is often represented in the scriptures by hunger and thirst. (psalm 42:1). As the body as its natural appetites of hunger and thirst for food and drink suited to its nourishment, so as the soul (psalm 63:1-2). When the soul begins to hunger and thirst after righteousness or holiness, which is its proper food we know that it must be purified by the holy spirit, and be made a partaker of that leaving bread (John 7:37-39), or perish everlastingly. A desire for the blessings of pardon and Peace; a deep sense of sin, and want, and wretchedness, is also represented by thirsting (Isaiah 55:1-2). Those who hunger and thirst, after the full salvation of God, will be blessed, satisfied and well-fed.
Those who are lost sinner and strongly desire to be only shall be filled. Christ has made provision to satisfy all who truly desire to be holy (John 4:14; 6:35; Psalm 17:15). Those who hunger and thirst after righteousness are blessed.
