We continue our journey through the Beatitudes. We are discovering how we can examine our lives to ensure we do not find ourselves living like the Laodicean church in the book of Revelation. LUKEWARM! 

We have discovered so far that we must walk in humility which is the foundation of everything else we will discuss. The next thing we discovered is that we must maintain sensitivity to our own personal sins. Not just say that we have sinned but to agree with God in the fullness of what they are.

Today we are going to look at the importance of having a gentle spirit. The Greek word for gentle means that we have strength under control. This is a self-control that is the result of being under the Spirit's control. 

Jesus said that He was gentle and humble in heart and that we were to take His yoke upon us and learn from Him. So let's learn.
