Gentleness (4 of 7)
Series: Believe (Part 2)
Chuck Booher
Matthew 5:5
Galahad: the best dog ever
All of our neighbors kept saying that he was such good dog
Why?
Did not pull on the leash when we walked
Even without the leash he walked by my side
Did not jump up on people
Stayed in the garage when people walked by
Even when I left the gate open he would not leave our yard
Why was he such a good dog?
Good because he was well-trained
Good because he was gentle
The word gentle would be better translated-trained
You are trained by God
You are obedient to the Holy Spirit!
Gentleness is not something we typically seek after
Gentleness can even seem like and insult
Charmin is gentle
The Smurfs are gentle
This is so counter cultural especially to men!
When I say the word Gentle many of you do not want to listen.
Is a real man gentle?
The Marines are looking for a few Good men…
They have a goal to make them into Gentlemen.
Gentle men means well trained men!
Actually they are!!!
The want their officers to be gentlemen
Gentle people will take over the world!
Matthew 5:5 (NASB)
5 ''Blessed are the gentle, for they shall inherit the earth.
Gentleness: praus-
refers to exercising God's strength under His control - i.e. demonstrating power without undue harshness.
One definition is not being overly impressed by a sense of one's self-importance.
Theological Dictionary of the New Testament: the taming of animals.
The best definition that helps us understand this word is strength under control.
Word is used of a War Horse that is powerful but well trained
Of a gentle breeze in contrast to a howling wind
Of a fire in the fire place in contrast to a raging inferno
Why do they inherit earth…what does it mean?
They will take over the earth …
The Church took over the Roman Empire
Martin Luther King Jr. cast off the bonds of slavery
Ghandi-emancipated India
The government of England threw a parade for him.
What is more powerful ...
