Meekness vs Weakness Part 3 Summary

In Episode Three of Meekness or Weakness, we defined meekness biblically by examining the Greek word praus in Matthew 5:5. We discovered that meekness does not mean weakness, but strength under control. Using the illustration of a trained stallion, we saw that meekness is not the loss of power, but the direction of it. We distinguished between suppressed strength and surrendered strength, and we clarified that meekness is not a matter of personality, but spiritual transformation. This episode establishes that meekness is disciplined power, governed by God and expressed with purpose.
