(1Th 2:7) “But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children:” How like the Lord this is – gentleness and at the same time strength. The Lord was so gentle children came to sit with Him but so bold He said what should be said with it needed to be said and stood when He needed to stand. Fallen men see meekness as weakness. It is not. It is the image of Christ Jesus!
