The best definition for meek I have heard, meekness is power under control. Jesus was meek, he had the power to summon 12 legions of angels when He was taken in the garden. He did not do that because He was going to accomplish the Father's will. That is meekness.GrannyGlock wrote:My son commented that the original greek interpretation of "meek" as in "the meek shall inherit the earth" came from a word that meant having strength but choosing not to weild it unwisely or indescriminately. In other words meek as humility, not weakness.
To be "meek" because you are powerless is not a virtue; to be humble when you are strong is to acknowledge that the true strength is not from you but from your Creator.
