The answer is: The earth

Matt 5:5

Matthew 5:5 is part of what we lovingly call the Beatitudes, a collection of teachings that capture the heart of Jesus's message. Here, He declares that “the meek shall inherit the earth.” This saying breathes optimism and hope into our lives, especially since “meek” doesn't imply weakness; rather, it conveys a profound humility and strength found in a gentle spirit.

Now, let’s consider the grandeur of "inheriting the earth." This underscores a promise that echoes throughout the scriptures. Psalms 37:11 similarly states, "the meek shall inherit the land." The continuity suggests a deep-rooted belief in a divine plan where meekness and humility become a pathway to abundant life. It's like the ancient wisdom trickling down through generations, reassuring us that true power is found in serving rather than dominating.

Interestingly, this theme connects to many heroes of the faith—think of Moses, who is described as very humble (Numbers 12:3), or David, who demonstrated both meekness and strength. All around, these figures reveal that inheriting the earth doesn’t mean claiming material wealth but nurturing relationships, peace, and stewardship of the world around us.

Plus, contrasting these ideas with contemporary societal values prompts a warm, uplifting reflection. It encourages us to ask how we can embody meekness in today’s world. In doing so, we not only acknowledge those values lived out by Jesus but also explore their implications on community and harmony. What a thought!
