The eighth foundation is the meekness. How did I conclude this?
First: note that the meek need to work Jesus’ judgment and seek His justice (righteousness), which are one the foundations of the follower of Christ.
Second: in His majesty the Creator rides in order to establish truth, meekness and justice together.
Third: meekness is something which we need to put on and follow after.
Fourth: meekness must determine our walking and the way by which we ought to receive the Word of Jesus in us.
Fifth: meekness must characterize our mode of relating with people that Jesus put in our way.
Sixth: the meekness of Jesus (Matthew 11.29) is what make us great.
But, what is meekness? Tomorrow I am going to speak about this (if Jesus reveals it to me). For the nonce, have I delicious day in Christ Jesus meditating on this.
