Keen Yet Gracious

Tuesday. Mark 1 1: 27-33.

Jesus was never more alert mentally than when opposed. Enmity brought out some of the keenest things that he said. Yet he was never bitter, and never cut with mere sarcasm. There was ever j wooing note of graciousncss, even when he denounced so terribly the hypocrisy of the Jerusalem leaders as he wept over the city. It’s a great thing for us to note. His blended wisdom and love may be ours in the opposition we must meet.
