Daily Devo | Fruit of the Spirit - Gentleness (Holiday Replay, Hebrews 5:1-2,7-9)

Happy New Year! In this holiday replay from August 29, 2024, we consider Jesus as our high priest. A good high priest is able to be gentle with wayward people because he shares their weaknesses and struggles -- and Jesus is our perfect high priest. When we fail to be gentle with others, could it be because we forget or deny our own weaknesses?

For Reflection:

A high priest is able to be gentle with the people because he knows their weaknesses and struggles -- and Jesus is our perfect high priest.

- What does it mean to you to know that Jesus fully experienced and knows your temptations and weaknesses?

- How might identifying and confessing your own shared weaknesses (Heb 5:2) help you to be more gentle with others? In other words, could harshness towards others be rooted in a forgetfulness or denial of our own weaknesses?
