2 Corinthians 10:1 By the humility and gentleness of Christ, I appeal to you—I, Paul, who am “timid” when face to face with you, but “bold” toward you when away!
Ah, the gentleness of Christ. Think on that today. What did he look like? He was kind and caring toward ALL people, even those who were awful to him. He encouraged others and lifted them up. When teaching and preaching, he spoke truth in confident calm speech. He was righteous before being right, every time. Christ's gentleness was showing love to all. I don't know about you, but I need the help of God to be gentle in this way. I need the Holy Spirit to infiltrate my thoughts, words and actions so that gentleness is an outward sign of His glorious grace.
