I recently recommended a book to you Wendi called "Gentle and Lowly", that was recommended to me by a couple of different people, our brother being one of them. My wife did not recommend it to me, but she had the book sitting on her nightstand because it was recommended to her by her employer, Focus on the Family. It's evidently the number one book in Christian counseling right now. Wendi: I see why! Pretty good. Brandon: So, when I saw the title, it was interesting because I thought the book was going to be about how to be gentle and lowly. As someone who struggles with being harsh and being too blunt and being not gentle, I probably need to read this book. Wendi: That's why you recommended it to me?
Brandon: That’s why I did recommend it, because I was recommending it to myself for the same reason. All right. We are not the most gentle and lowly people that we know of, but what's so cool is that the book is about the gentleness and the lowliness of the heart of Christ. It's the heart and I should have looked at the subtitle, the heart of Christ toward sinners and sufferers. But what's amazing is you know, I don't know how many chapters there are, but I'm on chapter seven. I'm doing the audio version, because I have ADD. It doesn't take long listening as I drive a lot with my work. It's great to realize that who Jesus is and his heart for sinners and sufferers creates like heartedness as you draw near to him. It's like I feel myself becoming more gentle and more lowly as I learn about the gentleness and lowliness of Jesus. The one who deserves all praise. The one who is going to come back with the sword in his mouth, robe dipped in blood and defeat all of his enemies. He said of himself as we have been reading and listening to this book, I am gentle and lowly of heart. And he does go on and clarifies. Okay, I'm not talking about how Jesus is with everyone all the time. He said that this book is about those who are suffering and dealing with their own sin, who choose to come to Jesus. Wendi: It's those who acknowledge that he is the answer to those things that we struggle with, whether it be sin that we get ourselves into a situation or suffering through innocence, through things outside of our control.
Brandon: So that if we're suffering for any reason, we're suffering the consequences of our own sin, but sinfulness or suffering in any way.
Wendi: Those that choose to come to Him for their comfort and their hope, those are the ones that he then handles with gentleness and lowliness. In those same situations, don't acknowledge that he is the only answer, which is, I think part of he is "The Way", the only way, the only answer. The Father has got you. It's not up to you. It's the Father that has a hold of you and won’t let go.
