Matthew 5:5 - Blessed are the lowly

What does it mean to be lowly? Jesus says that the lowly are blessed, that they will inherit the earth, but is that not opposite of all that our culture screams at us? If you want to get ahead, be important, you need to look out for number one, seek your own benefit, but Jesus calls us to something very different. Something that leads to true blessing, true happiness, true fulfillment.
