As we near the end of our series on Fruit of the Spirit, our sermon on Sunday brings us to the Fruit of Gentleness. What does it even mean to be gentle? I’m sure we have some ideas of what being gentle looks like, but do we view God as gentle? If we read through the entire Bible, would we say God is gentle? How does our view of God affect the way we treat others? As we open God’s Word, we will see how God has consistently dealt gently with His people throughout time, that Jesus came not to browbeat, but to give us an easy yolk. Our call as Christians then, is to be gentle and our gentleness is to be evident to all. Whether we are disappointed, confused, angry, or any other emotion, we are to walk in humility, and gentleness with patience.
