19今天，谁争谁就获得地土；你若不争，就不会得着地土，这就是有这么多战争的原因。国与国互相争战，要为自己得着更多的地土。世人是靠争获得地土，但诸天的国是藉着温柔获得地土。我们不需要争，却需要温柔。有些青年人喊口号说要得地。但得地的方法不是靠着口号、喊叫或争战，乃是藉着温柔。温柔的人有福了，因为他们必承受地土。你是争的人，还是温柔的人？你若要承受地土，就必须温柔。主耶稣回来时，要收复这地。然而，祂被捉拿、审问、钉死在各各他时，却是温柔的。祂被钉在十字架上时，并没有抵抗。在每一方面祂都是温柔的，祂温柔到底。至终，这地的收复不是靠争的人，乃是靠温柔的人。在几星期以前，一个反对者告诉我们一位弟兄说，“我们要使你们销声匿迹。”时间会说明谁会销声匿迹。争的人会销声匿迹，温柔的人却不会。反之，温柔的人必承受地土。撒但总是在争，但主耶稣从来不争，反而祂是温柔的。由此可见，神的经纶与人的经纶相对。你若要获得地土，就应当温柔。你若没有得着地土，这也许指明你还不壳温柔。青年人，你们在校园里必须温柔。我知道这是属天的语言。但主耶稣不是说，“争的人有福了，因为他们必获得地土。争的人必得地！”你们不要说，“我们要争，好得着地土。”不，你们必须说，“让我们藉着温柔来得着地土。”你也许以为温柔与物质的东西有关。然而，你若仔细思考这事，就会看见温柔与外面物质的东西无关，却与里面的东西，与我们这人的所是有关。
19Today, those who fight are those who gain the land. If you do not fight, you will not receive any territory. This is the reason there are so many wars. Nations wage war with one another to gain more territory for themselves. The human way is to obtain the land by fighting for it, but the way of the kingdom of the heavens is to gain it by being meek. There is no need to fight, but there is the need to be meek. Some of the young people have been shouting slogans about taking the earth. The way to take the earth is not by slogans, shouting, or fighting. The way is through meekness. Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. Are you a fighting one or a meek one? If you would inherit the earth, you must be meek. When the Lord Jesus comes back, He will regain the earth. However, when He was arrested, tried, and crucified at Golgotha, He was meek. As He was nailed to the cross, He did not resist. In every way He was meek, meek to the very end. Eventually, the earth will be gained not by the fighting ones, but by the meek ones. Several weeks ago an opposer told one of our brothers, “We are going to stop you!” Time will tell who will be stopped. The fighting ones will be stopped, but the meek ones will not be stopped. Rather, they will inherit the earth. Satan is always fighting, but the Lord Jesus never fights. Instead, He is meek. In this we see that the economy of God is opposite to the economy of man. If you want to gain the earth, you should be meek. If you have not received any territory, this may indicate that you are not yet meek enough. Young people, you must be meek on the campuses. I realize that this is a heavenly language. But the Lord Jesus did not say, “Blessed are those who fight, for they shall gain the earth. The fighters shall take the earth!” Do not say, “Let’s take the earth by fighting for it.” No, you must say instead, “Let’s take the earth by being meek.” You may think that meekness is related to material things. However, if you consider the matter carefully, you will see that meekness is not related to outward material things. Rather, it is related to something inward, to what we are in our very being.
