“Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and riding upon an 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.<br/><br/>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.
