And Jesus might be the clearest picture of the difference.
Andrew Steier describes weakness as an inability to exercise power, while meekness is the intentional choice not to use power for yourself.
Jesus had authority—and yet He humbled Himself.
He served.
He surrendered.
He chose obedience.
Philippians 2 gives us this incredible picture of Jesus humbling Himself and taking the nature of a servant.
That's why meekness isn't passivity.
It isn't insecurity.
And it isn't letting everyone walk over you.
Meekness is strength surrendered to God.
And Andrew says it's a quality we can spend our entire lives pursuing.
What might it look like to choose meekness in the way you lead, parent, disagree, respond, or serve someone today? đź’›
