Majesty and Meekness: A Comparative Study of Contrast and Harmony in the Conc...

Matthew Henry defines practical meekness and shows how valuable it is. He explains Bible verses related to meekness and how Biblical characters exhibited meekness. Meekness “is one of the members of the new man, which we must put on. Put it on as armor, to keep provocations from the heart, and so to defend the vitals.” Also “If there be any vindication or avenging necessary, (which infinite Wisdom is the best judge of) he can do it better than we can; therefore “give place unto wrath,” that is, to the judgment of God, which is according to truth and equity; make room for him to take the seat, and do not you step in before him.” The text is the American Tract Society version.

Here is a clear, concise and judicious examination of the bedrock Christian moral principles of mercy and meekness that leads the author, a professor of philosophy, to affirm their essential integration if we are to become complete Christians. Dr. Walters redefines and synthesizes the Christian principles: mercy and meekness together are virtues compatible, complementary, and essential to our pathway to union with Christ, convincingly countering the Nietzschean philosophy that rejects their synthesis (one or the other is possible, but not both), as incompatible, inherently contradictory and "morally repugnant." Intended as a reference work for undergraduate students, this spare book, rooted in Scripture and Christian tradition, the thought of Thomas Merton, Henri Nouwen, Ayn Rand, and Friedrich Nietzsche, including his polemics with the Sermon on the Mount, is also helpful for the general reader in search of spiritual wholeness. It is an effective counterguide to Christianity's naysayers.

If You're Looking for the key to the Heart of God, You'll Find It When You Possess the Inward Strength of...Magnificent Meekness Have you ever wondered why God waited until Abraham was 99 years old to bless him with Isaac? Why did He pick the inarticulate Moses to speak for Him? Could He do no better than Gideon? Rahab was a prostitute. Elijah was a hothead. Leah never won a beauty contest. Jacob was no role model. Peter failed the loyalty test. Paul was a zealous persecutor of the Church. The uncomfortable truth is that God is pleased to work through the weaknesses of our lives. There is nothing more powerful in a believer's life than the strength that comes out of being broken and humbled. God purposely puts us in the weakening process where we must continually rely upon the grace of the Holy Spirit. One of the greatest preachers who ever lived explained it most eloquently... "but by the grace of God I am what I am." (1 Corinthians 15:10 NIV)

Volume One of this four volume serious of the life an ministry of Jesus Christ "Come learn of me," the Savior invites. "Learn of me, and listen to my words; walk in the meekness of my Spirit, and you shall have peace in me. I am Jesus Christ; I came by the will of the Father, and I do his will." These words, spoken by the Savior in ancient and modern times, provide the challenge with which Elder Bruce R. McConkie of the Council of the Twelve Apostles, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, begins this four-volume work on the mortal life and ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ. Who was Jesus of Nazareth? What was his mission? What do we know of his birth, his early life, and his ministry? Who were his disciples? What were the conditions in Palestine in the Meridian of Time, when he walked the earth and mingled with men? In his earlier work, The Promised Messiah, Elder McConkie discussed the prophecies concerning the Messiah. Now, in The Mortal Messiah, Book 1, he writes about how the prophecies were coming to pass as the Advent of the Messiah approached the conditions in Palestine and among the Jews at that time: the birth of the forerunner, John the Baptist, and of Jesus himself: his childhood; his baptism and early ministry.

"None is acceptable before God, save the meek and lowly," the prophet Mormon taught. (Moroni 7:44.) Why is meekness such an important requirement for salvation? What does it mean to be meek? How can we attain meekness? In Meek and Lowly, Elder Neal A. Maxwell of the Council of the Twelve Apostles, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, discusses this critical-but often misunderstood-principle. "The rigorous requirements of Christian discipleship are clearly unattainable without meekness," he writes. "In fact, meekness is needed in order to be spiritually successful, whether in matters of the intellect, in the management of power, in the dissolution of personal pride, or in coping with the challenges of daily life." The first step, Elder Maxwell claims, is to take upon us the Savior's yoke and to learn about Him and His teachings. Other requirements are to develop humbleness of mind; to be humble in our dealings with others, particularly those whom we lead; and to overcome the deadly sin of pride. Elder Maxwell also explains the relation between meekness and the grace of God, the blessings that come through being meek, and the examples of meekness found in the lives of prophets both ancient and modern. "Meekness, though lowly, has its own quiet majesty," he concludes, for "by being yoked to Jesus and His gospel, we are drawn closer to Him. Proximity only increases our meekness."

In this Book, Paul opens his heart to the congregation in Corinth. The forthright tone he used in 1 Corinthians melts into meekness and gentleness in 2 Corinthians. Through Paul's suffering, foolishness, and weakness, he imparts divine power, wisdom, and strength to the congregation. He encourages their gracious giving, and warns them against super-apostles, who would lead them away from Christ. In 2 Corinthians we will learn more about:- the reasons for Paul's delayed visit to Corinth;- the wondrous glory of the new covenant;- the apostolic ministry of reconciling sinners to a gracious God;- how God's power is perfected in our weakness.
