5 Blessed are the meek; for they shall inherit the earth.
COMMENTARY: The meek... shall inherit the earth refers again to those who have been before God and will not only inherit the blessedness of heaven, but also will ultimately share in the kingdom of God on earth. Here, in the opening statements of the Sermon on the Mount, is the balance between the physical and spiritual promise of the kingdom. The kingdom of which Jesus preached is both "in you" and is yet "to come."
