“Meek. Humble. Gentle.
Jesus is not trigger-happy. Not harsh, reactionary, easily exasperated.
He is the most understanding person in the universe.
The posture most natural to Him is not a pointed finger but open arms.”
–Dane Ortlund, Gentle and Lowly: The Heart of Christ for Sinners and Sufferers (Wheaton, IL: Crossway, 2020), 19.
