The Sermon on the Mount is probably Jesus' premier teaching on His Person - Who He is. We come this week to the third beatitude: "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth." Inheritance, by very nature, implies receiving: two parties. When we try to take the earth, rather than receive it as a token of communion between us and God, we are unable to possess it. So truly, blessed are those Who have the Spirit of Jesus, who never took the earth as His own, but received it from His Father.
