In 1937 Charles M. Sheldon wrote his classic In His Steps and challenged us to lives our lives asking "What Would Jesus Do?" In this study we will read the NIV Gospels in order to determine what JESUS TOLD US TO DO. Hopefully that will help answer the question. Our scope will not include what He told the Disciples or individuals to do. We will be followers on the Hillside, listening to his messages to US...I have no qualifications to lead this study and invite comment as the Spirit moves you.

"Blessed are the Meek, for they will inherit the earth."
Our Lord tells us not to be proud, but to be humble, and gentle. We should not be easily provoked or irritated, and be forebearing under injury or annoyance.

Thank you so much for this post....I needed this one for today..God Bless you.
Now days, most people erroneously confuse the term 'meek' with weakness. Jesus was meek, but he also knew how to bust heads and use some strong words at the correct/ right time. The sin of 'PRIDE' is my worst enemy... according to James, the 'tongue can do much damage-- much of it irreversible.'
