33. How to Be Gentle
from Become New with John Ortberg · host Become New
This is your day to shine. Paul writes to the Philippians, “Let your gentleness be evident to all.” It’s a quality so central to the heart of Jesus that he chose it as the word to describe himself: “I am gentle and humble in heart.” Paul would have known how radical that sounded. He’d grown up admiring zeal, the kind that would do anything or go to any length to defend God’s honor. For Paul, zeal was something you did with a knife. But on the road to Damascus, everything changed. God redefined zeal for Paul. He encountered a God who doesn’t strike down enemies but stretches out his hands for them. For Jesus, zeal was something he did on a cross.
