Hernandes Dias Lopes’ video on the blessedness of the meek is a devotional that explores the Christian virtue of meekness. Hernandes explains that being meek is not an external attribute, but rather a grace from God. Being meek does not mean being weak, cowardly, or complacent with evil. Furthermore, being meek is being submissive to God’s will, being under His control, and having one’s strength under control for good. The meek are those who are willing to suffer harm and acknowledge before men what they acknowledge before God. Hernandes Dias Lopes emphasizes that Christian meekness is a virtue that should be cultivated by all Christians who seek an authentic Christian life. Meekness is a fruit of the Spirit that manifests itself in our sanctification, as Galatians 5:23 tells us. Spiritual discernment is fundamental to understanding the blessedness of the meek and how this Christian virtue is one of the keys to an authentic Christian life. Hernandes Dias Lopes' sermon is a profound reflection on the blessedness of the meek and how this Christian virtue can be applied in our lives. The video description should be seen as an invitation to reflect on Christian meekness and how it can be a fundamental Christian virtue for an authentic Christian life. ____ Hernandes Dias Lopes, born in Nova Venécia / ES.
