(8) Gentleness
A crowd full of anger brought a woman caught in adultery to Jesus Christ, ready to stone her to death. In the face of an angry mob loaded with weapons and condemnation, Christ responded with gentleness.
Gentleness is not weakness. It is power under control. Christ did not choose the stone; He chose grace.
Instead of shouting, driving them away, or blaming the crowd, Christ simply made them reflect on their own lives and hearts. And without judging that broken woman, He gently told her not to commit sin again.
If the world pushes you to throw stones of judgment, anger, impatience, and retaliation, follow the example of Christ. In the hardest, most chaotic, and loudest moments, let the power of gentleness and peace flow out of you.
"Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand." Philippians 4:5
Lord Jesus Christ, transform me to become more like You.
Grow Your gentleness, meekness, and patience within me.
Even in moments when people decide it is impossible or unwarranted to be gentle, let the gentleness of Christ bear fruit within me.
In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I pray.
Amen.
