Blessed are the MEEK

[TonyChanYT]

After John the Baptizer was imprisoned, Jesus spoke about being meek, Literal Standard Version, Matthew 11:

29 take up My yoke on you, and learn from Me, because I am meek and humble in heart, and you will find rest to your souls,

Strong's Greek: 4239. πραΰς (praus) — 4 Occurrences

HELPS Word-studies:

This difficult-to-translate root (pra-) means more than "meek." Biblical meekness is not weakness but rather refers to exercising God's strength under His control – i.e. demonstrating power without undue harshness.

BDAG πραΰς:

not being overly impressed by a sense of one’s self-importance, gentle, humble, considerate

The King of the triumphal entry was meek, Matthew 21:

5 Tell the daughter of Zion, Behold, your King comes to you, meek, and mounted on a donkey, and a colt, a foal of a beast of burden.”

Wives should behave meekly, NIV, 1 Peter 3:

1 Wives, in the same way submit yourselves to your own husbands ... 4 it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle [meek] and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight.

Everyone should behave meekly, NIV, Matthew 5:

5 Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.

Meekness is accomplished with a sense of peace and not fear.
