Why the Meek Will Inherit the Earth

Early in the Sermon on the Mount Jesus tells us that the meek will inherit the earth. In this sermon Mr. Smith asks why will the meek inherit the earth? He then looks at the qualities in meekness that we need to develop in order to be able to serve under Jesus in God's kingdom.
