Isaiah 61:1 SERIES: The Meek

The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; Isaiah 61:1

"Christ did preach good tidings unto the meek in His sermon on the
mount.
Matt.v5:5,6: "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.
This cannot be fulfilled until Christ's second coming, and at the resurrection of the just, - Psalm lxxvi.9: "When God arose to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth;" - that is, in its complete sense. 
But Christ did preach what the prophet Isaiah said He would, "good tidings to the meek," and will accomplish His promise at His second advent, and give possession of the earth to the saints."
