Notes:
There is no place for spiritual pride.
Example: 
It doesn’t matter to us what we do and someone else doesn’t.
We don’t think we’re better because we’re this religion, or because I speak in tongues and they don’t.

Becoming meek is like taming a horse; it’s strong and powerful and wants its own way.
But when it is finally broken it does whatever you tell it to do.
Now that horse is still strong and powerful, but now it’s under control by the Lord.

Let me show you biblically what meekness is in scriptures;
In the O.T. were this was prophesies it shows the Lords meekness.
Isa 53:1-7
1 Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?
2 For he shall grow up before him (the Father) as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
We can for sure understand this one, who is believing what we tell them.
What is the arm of the Lord next verse?
“He” is the arm of the Lord, and has we continue to read, we’ll see that it is Jesus.
3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
Now if our Lord Jesus Christ who didn’t deserve abuse can go through this, why can’t we?

back to verse 2 
“he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.”

Some people say he was lonely and ugly, because of this verse, but it doesn’t mean that.
If you read the 5th chapter of Song of Solomon verses 10-16 it’s speaking about what Jesus looked like.

The reason he wasn’t desire, because they wanted a mighty King with a sword.

Don’t you know that the Lord could have responded, the way we do many times.
Matt 26:53 Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?

Let’s get the picture of the Jews
The Jews have been waiting there whole life for the Messiah, the son of God.

They founded out that the wife of Zacharias a priest, was going to have a child, and he was told by Gabriel an angel of the Lord that he would bear a son, and call him John, and in Luke it says;
Luke 1:14-17
14 And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth.
15 For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb.
16 And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God.
17 And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.

Can you imagine the excitement these Jews had when they heard this?
This told them that the forerunner of the Messiah was here, so that meant that he was coming, The King will soon be here.
And he did come, but not the way they expected.
The Jews understood military power and miracle power, but they did not understand the power of meekness.
That’s walking in the Spirit.

They didn’t want this Messiah, the son of God to come with meekness; they wanted revenge for always having to be under someone else’s Kingdom.

They wanted it their way, instead of waiting on Gods way.

This is the reason many of the Jews hated him.

It’s hard for me to believe that the Jews, who God told them that the Messiah was coming missed it, because in Is chapters 40-60 God portrays the Messiah as the suffering servant, as well as the conquering Lord.

This is going on in our churches today, preachers are afraid of being hated for the message they bring.
