Many people today would define meekness as "weakness." But nothing could be further from the truth. To be meek is to be like Jesus. To be meek is to be humble, to refrain from pride. As followers of Jesus, we are called to be meek in the midst of a self-absorbed world.

Jesus spoke about those who mourn. He said that those who mourn will be comforted. We serve a God who cares about what concerns us. Those who have been redeemed and saved from sin, are grieved when they see sin and wickedness in the world. Followers of Jesus mourn over the effects of sin on this world. But we don't stay in a place of sadness. We trust that Jesus has conquered sin and death, and one day, we will see the fullness of His victory. As we follow Jesus, may our hearts be soft and grieve over what grieves the heart of God.

The first Beatitude that Jesus gave us in His Sermon on the Mount is about those who are poor in spirit. To be poor in spirit means to understand that in ourselves, we have nothing. Without Jesus, we are poor in spirit. We can do nothing without Him. An influencer for Jesus is one that relies completely on Jesus. In this episode we look at the life of Esther as a woman who was poor in spirit and knew she could not save her people in her own strength. She relied completely on Yahweh, the One, True and Living God.
