The Gentleness Of Jesus (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt From The Gentleness Of Jesus This Then Is The Meaning Of The Words, The Bruised Reed Shall He Not Break, The Smoking Flax Shall He Not Quench, Till He Send Forth Judgment Unto Victory. He Would Not Put Forth His Power Against His Foes. This Was The Method Of His Life. This Was The Way In Which He Should Conquer The World; Not By Strife Nor Cry, But By An Infinite And Unfailing Gentleness. Look At It All Along His Life. If He Would Uplift The World, The First Thing Is To Make Life Sacred, The Very Beginning Of It. Infanticide Was Scarcely A Crime At His Coming Anywhere But In Palestine, And Even There Without Any Ado Or Great Horror, Herod, To Quiet His Uneasy Fear, Can Send Out His Sol Diers And Slay All The Young Children Through The Coasts. Here, Then, Is The Problem, - How Shall He Make Childhood Sacred? How Uplift And Hallow The WorldS Opinion Of The Little Child? How Bring All The WorldS Tenderness And Pity About The Babe, And Gather All The WorldS Might For The Protection Of The Little One? Shall He Go Forth And Tell With Sweet Words Of Their Charms, A Champion Of Their Claims? Shall He Go Forth With Fiery Indignation Against Their Wrongs And Hurl Angry Threats At All That De Graded And Dishonored Them? Come And See How It Is Done. He Himself Comes As The Lit Tle Babe Of Bethlehem, Wrapped In Swaddling Clothes, And Laid In A Manger. Controversy, Conict, Terror, Destruction, - Where Are They? He Cannot Break A Bruised Reed, He Cannot Quench A Smoking ax, He Who Lies As The Babe Upon The MotherS Bosom. Thus He Up Lifted And Hallowed The Little Child And Made It A Thing Almost Divine, - Of Such Is The King Dom Of Heaven. Thus He Made Motherhood Sacred, And Left It The Mightiest Power To Soften And Ennoble Men In All The World.
