Meekness: Miriam, Moses & Our Messiah [Numbers 12]

Episode notes

By Pastor Jason Lim

Meek is not weak. Meekness is strength under control.

It's easy to hit back when provoked, but meekness is that strength to hold back.

When Miriam undermined Moses, Moses opened not his mouth (silence) at first,

but later open his mouth (supplication) later.

Instead of retaliating, he requested mercy for his "enemy."

But a greater Moses is here. Jesus is that greater prophet and that greater servant

who will display unfailing meekness in spite of insults, slander and assaults, for He

entrusted Himself to the Father. He gave His life willingly, to fulfill the Father's will

and to save us from our sins.

Christians are told to follow in the path of meekness.

May Christ's Spirit in you enable you to indeed do so.
