“Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek and riding upon
on ass.” Matthew 21:5
The Lord Jesus charges us to be meek. How meek he was
himself! To show that his kingship is based not on arrogance but lowliness, he
chose to ride upon an ass. During his earthly life he could easily be
approached and readily talked to. So should we be. A Christian should not be aloof,
but easily accessible in his personal relations.
To be meek in disposition is to be self-controlled. We
will not lose our temper. Kindness is the most delicate of human emotions, rudeness
and loss of temper the most ill-mannered. The Son of God was never rude. He did
not show arrogance, nor seek recognition in high places. He lived humbly on
earth, and God’s will for us is that we should do the same, following our
humble Lord in his pathway of meekness.
