“Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth” (Matthew 5:4). Obviously connected with the gospel of kingdom which Jesus and the apostles preached. What does a non-Jew listening to Jesus learn from the teaching contained in this verse from his sermon?

Thank you. That’s my line of work. No more so than I have for the past 60+ years.

That’s agreement. That’s a conversation killer.

That’s helpful. Don’t all who belong to the Messiah receive glorified bodies at the same time as Jesus is returning to the earth and bodily resurrects them (or changes those of them who are still alive as he returns, in an instant) to the life of the age to come?

If I’m understanding you correctly @Marilyn C, you’re saying that Jesus’ words, his message, his gospel of the kingdom isn’t for Gentiles. Is that correct?

Okay. Thanks. I’m grafted into Israel. I’m looking to Jesus and seeking the kingdom.
