MEEK

MEEK

ONE OF THE SEVERAL VARIETIES

OF THE WESTERN

IS THAT OF THE TOWN DRUNK

OR PROSTITUTE

BEING THE HERO

WHILE THE GOOD PEOPLE

THE MEEK AND MILD

COWER IN THE CHURCH

THE WORD MEEK CAME INTO ENGLISH

FROM THE SCANDINAVIAN

MEANING SOFT

IT WAS USED BY THE KJV SCHOLARS

TO TRANSLATE THE GREEK

PRAUS

OVER THE YEARS

THE TERM MEEK

HAVE TAKEN ON THE FOLLOWING MEANING

ACCORDING TO WEBSTER

IT MEANS

 TIMID

 HUMBLE

 LOWLY

 OVERLY PATIENT

OR SUBMISSIVE

SOMEHOW I DON’T THINK

THIS WAS WHAT JESUS MEANT

WHEN HE SAID

LEARN FROM ME

FOR I AM MEEK

 AND HUMBLE OF HEART

IN BIBLICAL GREEK .

IT IS THE REGULAR WORD FOR AN ANIMAL

WHICH HAS BEEN DOMESTICATED
WHICH HAS BEEN TRAINED

TO OBEY THE WORD OF COMMAND

WHICH HAS
LEARNED TO ANSWER TO THE REINS

 IT IS THE WORD FOR AN ANIMAL
WHICH HAS LEARNED TO ACCEPT CONTROL

IN NO WAY DOES IT EMASCULATE

THE ANIMAL

 CHRIST SAID

I HAVE COME

NOT TO DO MY WILL

BUT THE WILL OF THE FATHER

WHO SENT ME

PETER

WAS A WILD BULL

OF A MAN

BUT JESUS USED HIM

AS HE WAS

TOO OFTEN CHRISTIANS

ARE SEEN AS COWERING IN THE CHURCH

BUT CHRISTIANITY

IS A VIGOROUS

VIRILE RELIGION

WE ARE BROKEN

TO THE REINS

WHICH IS THE CODE OF JESUS

THE SKILLS WE HAD

AS A WILD ONE

ARE STILL OUR SKILLS

WHEN JESUS SAYS PULL

WE DON’T QUESTION

THE REINS

WE PULL
