“So, using whatever text appeals to you, what’s your take on the Sermon on the Mount?”

I kind of like Prophet Steven Wright’s take on it.

“So what if the meek inherit the earth.
We’ll just take it back...bunch of meeks.”

Heavy, really heavy!

My construction on that Scripture is that

the meek will be all that’s left.

And, meekness is an attitude of the heart TOWARD GOD.

Not wimpiness in any & all contexts.
